The external walls of any building are its first defence against the elements. If they are not solid and durable, the building is headed for potentially irreparable and costly damage.
Rendering is essential in keeping the outside walls of building strong enough to defend against harsh weather, dampness, and air pollution, as well as providing the building with a significant amount of insulation. Vital as energy prices continue to rise across Scotland.
The problem with render arises when it’s not properly maintained. And the longer its left, the worse it gets. After a long winter in Scotland, property owners will begin to notice visual signs of damage on the render outside of their building. This is a result of frost getting into hairline cracks in the render. This is why render maintenance is so important. Once damp has entered through the render, its will cause more damage to any solid walls, especially in structures that rely on timber. Identifying render damage and quickly repairing it is vital to avoid further, more aggressive damage to the building. Cracks and bulges in render signify damage. Discolouration is also an issue that comes with render as a result of UV rays or natural growth such, as algae and moss on the render. Render Painting can be used to re-fresh the appearance of a building, and while discolouration is more of an aesthetic issue, render painting also provides an extra layer of protection for the render, against the elements.
When it comes to carrying out render repairs or render painting, the traditional method would be to erect scaffolding or use a mobile access platform. While this allows professionals to access the damage and work on repairing it, it also comes with disadvantages. Especially in cost and time. Scaffolding and work platforms require a lot of time and money to install. They are also bulky and may restrict the movement of pedestrians or in some cases, depending on the location of the building, vehicles on roads. On top of that it prolongs the amount of time it takes to complete the project.
