Want To Re-Render Your Home Interiors? Know The Aspects To Consider

by William Jones manager

Rendering is a process of applying a thick layer of coating material that uses concrete mixture over the wall. With exterior rendering, it is possible to transform the appearance of an older brick home while giving it a sleek and modern appearance. With interior rendering, you can give your home interior a new lease life. But which render type to choose? 

4 types of render options are there- 


  • Traditional sand and cement mixed with lime to prevent cracking.
  • Acrylic render that use the acrylic plastic.
  • Polymer-modified render.
  • Plaster, which is the best for indoor application due to softer texture and slow-drying.


Render can be applied with the thickness that ranges from 1mm to 12mm. In most cases, 2 or more coats are applied with a trowel. The first coat fills the holes, cracks and crevices, and the subsequent coats are applied with trowel up to the final touch. You can draw some beautiful texture, or you can leave it with a smooth finish.

Transform an Interior Wall With Render: Interior walls were started getting rendered a long before the plasterboard was invented. In ancient times, even in villages till now, mud has been in use for rendering interior walls. Next to mud, cement comes followed by modern acrylic renders. Even a lot of Australian homeowners are into transforming the appearance of the home interiors with render and consider it over the paints.

But What’s the Difference Paint and Render?

With render, you can add depth and texture to the walls. Some professional cement rendering in Gold Coast allows you to add depth and texture to the walls with a range of stylish options. Here are a few effects skilled renders can let you achieve, which are as listed below- 

  • Natural concrete renders for modern industrial or minimalist look.
  • Mudbrick appearance using coloured render and some special trowelling method.
  • Rough textured render combined with plenty of choices in colour. 


Modern rendering professionals in Mooloolaba use rollers, sponges, abrasive stone etc. Whether you want rendered walls with a single colour or want some differences in texture- it’s all about creating the antique appearance. 

Why Render Should Be Your First Choice?

Rendering is an effective treatment that once used to take a long time to dry, which was up to 28 days and even was not 100% waterproof. However, today most renderer use acrylic render which is found added with polymer, and it is more flexible, adhesive-mixed and waterproof.

How to Spot Worn-Out Render?

If you see cracks or if some areas are appearing with blisters as well as loosening and discoloured wall, it’s time to re-render. Moreover, another problem starts appearing when render loses its grip or brickwork underneath, and the surface starts falling off. Due to water deposition inside the hollowed gaps, it starts washing out the renders eventually. 

Whereas traditional sand and lime render can be used indoors, Acrylic rendering is becoming a top choice among property owners. Acrylic one is less prone to cracking, dries faster and different grades are also available. Professionals even mix dry render with colour by adding water, oxide or paint for fresh coating or re-render.
