Frequently Asked Questions About House Rendering in Burns Beach
How much does house rendering cost in Australia?
House rendering costs $30–$80 per square metre supplied and applied in Australia, depending on the render type and how much surface prep the brick or block needs. Polymer render mix runs about $15 per 20kg bag, while premium acrylic render costs around $213 per 15 litre bucket, plus reinforcing mesh at $46–$56 a roll.
What is the difference between cement render and acrylic render?
Cement render is a sand and cement mix trowelled on and painted afterwards, cheaper upfront but more prone to cracking as the house moves. Acrylic render is a premixed polymer coating, often self-coloured, more flexible and crack resistant, but costs more at around $213 per 15 litre bucket versus roughly $15 for a 20kg cement render bag.
Does rendering a house help with insulation?
Rendering adds a small amount of thermal mass and helps seal hairline gaps in brickwork, but it's not a real insulation upgrade on its own since a standard render coat is only a few millimetres thick. For genuine thermal improvement, pair rendering with proper wall insulation. Render reinforcing mesh costs $46–$56 per 50 metre roll.
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.
Is rendering suitable for a brick home in Australia?
Absolutely — rendering over brick is very popular in Australia to modernise the appearance of older homes or create a seamless façade. The brick surface must be clean, free of paint, and have open mortar joints to ensure mechanical key for adhesion. A bonding agent is recommended.
What is texture coat and how is it different from render?
Texture coat (also called acrylic texture or spray texture) is applied over a base render or pre-primed surface to create the final decorative finish. It's thinner than render (1–3mm) and is available in smooth, fine, medium, and coarse textures. It's fast to apply and available in thousands of colours.
