An external facade helps to define a home or office building. It determines the immediate impression of it from a visual perspective, but also the energy performance of the build, and the comfort levels of those within it. To ensure an optimised external facade, and to tick all of these boxes, the role of silicone rendering has become more prominent in recent years.
Silicone rendering is the final element added to an external facade, in the form of either a thin coat render, or as part of an external wall insulation system. They can be applied in varied textures and colours, ultimately defining how the final construction will look.
As an external facade specialist, MIG Facades has partnered with Terrix for the company’s silicone rendering expertise. Together, we ensure that each customer is showing off a building they are truly proud of.
Full marks across the board
The benefits of effective silicone rendering go beyond aesthetics. From an energy perspective, they can complement the thermal and moisture capabilities of the facade and insulation systems. Their weather resistance and anti-cracking capabilities also ensure saved money in the long run from a maintenance perspective.
F&T Terrix® Render Systems are revolutionising the housebuilding and renovation market across a range of benefits. Traditional, standalone render types such as mineral, acrylic, silicate and silicone tick some of the durability and sustainability boxes. Meanwhile, Terrix’s Polymer-silicate fulfils all needs, scoring highly across metrics including vapour permeability, anti-fungal protection, dirt resistance, water resistance, flame retardancy and overall durability.
A transition from old to new
Sprayable versions of all Terrix’s products make build projects quicker and low maintenance, while also keeping costs down.
Its trademark 2 Coat Thin Polmer Silicate Render is a combination of potassium water glass converted into a polymer. The outcome is a more complex and complete silicone render, that is simpler to administer, and more durable to the elements once applied.
The product’s characteristics make it perfect not only for new builds, but also for restorations and renovations due to its resistance to dirt, mould and algae. For customers, this allows for the upgrading of older buildings to modern energy and environmental specifications, with relative ease.
