Frequently Asked Questions About Texture Coating in Mosman
How much does texture coating cost in Australia?
Texture coating costs $30–$80 per square metre supplied and applied in Australia, similar to standard rendering since it's trowelled or sprayed on in the same way. A 15 litre bucket of texture coating retails for $79–$184, typically around $108, enough to cover a modest sized exterior wall section.
How long does texture coating last on a house?
A quality texture coating job typically lasts 10 to 15 years before it needs recoating, longer in sheltered spots and less in harsh coastal or full-sun exposure. Hairline cracking and colour fade are the usual signs it's due. A 15 litre bucket for a recoat costs $79–$184, typically around $108, plus labour at standard rendering rates.
Can texture coating be applied over old paint?
Not directly over loose or flaking paint. Existing paintwork needs to be sound, clean and free of chalking, otherwise the new texture coating will bond to the old paint rather than the wall and eventually peel away with it. A high-adhesion primer first solves most cases. A 15 litre bucket of texture coating costs $79–$184.
How much does rendering a house cost in Australia?
Cement render costs $30–$60/m² for labour, plus $10–$20/m² for materials. Acrylic render costs $40–$80/m². A standard double-brick home with 200m² of wall area typically costs $8,000–$16,000 fully rendered. Prices vary significantly by region, access difficulty, and surface condition.
What is the difference between cement render and acrylic render?
Cement render is a sand-and-cement mix applied in multiple coats and painted over. It's durable but can crack over time with building movement. Acrylic render is a polymer-modified system that's more flexible, crack-resistant, and available in integral colours — no painting required. Acrylic is the more modern and preferred choice.
Can you render over existing paint or render?
Generally not recommended — the new render needs to bond to a clean substrate. Old paint or loose existing render must be removed first. Surface preparation (cleaning, removing loose material, applying bonding agent) is critical for adhesion. Rendering over a sound, existing render coat is sometimes possible with the right bonding agent.
How long does render take to cure before painting?
Cement render must cure for a minimum of 28 days before painting with a standard acrylic paint. Painting too early traps moisture and causes paint failure. Sealer coats can sometimes be applied after 7 days. Acrylic render systems are integral colour and don't require painting, but can be painted after full cure.
What causes render to crack?
The main causes are building movement, thermal expansion, shrinkage during curing, insufficient bonding, and structural issues. Hairline cracks are normal and cosmetic. Horizontal or diagonal cracks can indicate structural movement. Applying render too thickly or in hot/dry conditions also causes cracking.
