Australian homes face unique challenges from our harsh climate – intense UV exposure, extreme temperature variations, and coastal salt air. Acrylic rendering has emerged as one of the most effective solutions for protecting and beautifying external walls.
Unlike traditional cement render, acrylic render contains polymers that provide flexibility and crack resistance. This is particularly important in Australia, where temperature fluctuations can cause building materials to expand and contract.
The flexibility of acrylic render means it can accommodate minor structural movements without cracking. This makes it ideal for both new constructions and renovation projects where the substrate may have some existing imperfections.
Water resistance is another key advantage. Acrylic renders are designed to be breathable while repelling water, preventing moisture from penetrating the wall while allowing trapped moisture to escape.
Maintenance requirements for acrylic render are minimal compared to painted surfaces. The color is integrated throughout the render, so minor scratches or chips are less noticeable, and repainting is rarely necessary.
FineTex Finishes offers a wide range of acrylic render colors and textures to suit any architectural style, from smooth contemporary finishes to textured Mediterranean looks.
