Silicon Thin Coat Render System
A silicon thin coat render system gives your property a clean, modern finish that’s built to last — no painting, no algae, and minimal upkeep. We install thin coat render systems across Cornwall on everything from coastal cottages in St Ives to new builds in Perranporth and renovation projects in Mevagissey. Available in a huge range of colours and textures, it’s one of the most popular exterior finishes we carry out. We also work in Marazion, Mullion, St Just, Porthleven, Praa Sands, St Agnes, and all surrounding areas.
What Is a Silicon Thin Coat Render System?
A silicon thin coat render is a modern, flexible render system applied as a thin decorative finish coat over an insulation or base coat layer. Unlike traditional sand and cement render, it’s designed to be breathable, crack-resistant, and self-cleaning — making it one of the most durable and attractive exterior finishes available.
Our Thin Coat Render Services
Silicon Render
Silicon-based renders offer excellent breathability and water repellency. They resist algae and dirt build-up, keeping your property looking fresh for years without the need for repainting. Ideal for Cornwall’s damp climate and coastal exposure.
Acrylic Render
A versatile, cost-effective thin coat option available in a wide range of colours and textures. Acrylic renders provide a strong, flexible finish that works well on a variety of substrates and is particularly popular on new builds and extensions.
Applied Over External Wall Insulation
Thin coat render is the perfect finishing layer for external wall insulation systems. As approved Wetherby’s specialists, we install complete insulation and render packages that improve your property’s energy efficiency and appearance in one go.
Benefits of Silicon Thin Coat Render
Low maintenance — Self-cleaning properties mean dirt and algae are washed away by rainwater, keeping your walls looking clean.
Crack resistant — The flexible, thin coat formula moves with your building, dramatically reducing the risk of cracking compared to traditional render.
Breathable — Allows moisture to escape from within the wall while keeping rainwater out, reducing the risk of damp.
Wide colour range — Available in hundreds of colours with no need for painting, now or in the future.
Built for Cornish weather — Designed to withstand UV exposure, driving rain, and coastal conditions.
