Monocouche Render
Monocouche – French for ‘single layer’ – is one of the newer techniques to rendering your home in Cambridgeshire. Monocouche render is supplied in bags, ready for mixing with water. It can be applied by hand trowel or sprayed on.
Monocouche renders use white cement and are pre-coloured (in any colour you want). They can be applied in one coat, so are quicker and therefore less labour intensive than traditional house rendering products in Cambridgeshire. However, what is saved in labour costs is used up on materials, as bags of Monocouche can be many times more than usual cement.

Sand and Cement Rendering
ENERGY SAVING SOLUTIONS
Sand & Cement rendering in Cambridgeshire has been the favored material of choice for decades when it comes down to render, this is the material that many houses in the UK are currently coated in but times are rapidly changing.
Sand & Cement is the most affordable service that is offered on the market but also has the lowest life span and is prone to cracking on any timber frame base or any form of movement from the house.
Unlike other renders, once the material has dried, it will then need painting, because of this, we always recommend considering the coloured render route as even though Sand & Cement render is a cheaper alternative; when you factor in labor costs for painting and overall predicted lifespan, the overall cost is very similar and the overall process is slightly longer than its coloured counterparts.
Scratch Back Rendering
LEADING RENDERING SPECIALISTS
Scratch Back Rendering is a coloured cement-like render that is applied in two layers. The top layer is scratched back while the surface is still workable, but after the initial setting has taken place. The surface of the render is removed with a scratching tool. Approximately 2 to 3 millimetres of render is removed to expose the open matrix of the aggregate mix. The true colour of the render is exposed with a light even texture.
