Welcome to our guide on external render repair and maintenance. Whether you have a JUB render and/or an external wall insulation system, proper maintenance is essential to ensure longevity and visual appeal.
By following our step-by-step instructions, you can reduce the need for extensive render repairs in the future, saving you both time and money. Let's dive into the key steps for effective render repair and maintenance.
Before starting any redecoration work, it's crucial to clean the external render thoroughly. Remove any visible dirt or dust from the surface, ensuring a clean and smooth base for the upcoming paint application. If necessary, treat the facade with JUB Fungi Wash to eliminate any fungal growth or contaminants.
However, avoid using acid-based cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the external wall insulation system. To enhance the adhesion and durability of the new paint, we highly recommend applying an appropriate paint primer to the cleaned render.
Choosing the correct paint is crucial for achieving a long-lasting and visually pleasing exterior finish. Take into account the type of render you have and consult our technical department at technical@jub.org.uk for guidance on the suitable paint product.
Avoid using masonry paint that JUB Systems UK Limited hasn't advised to maintain warranties and prevent short-term maintenance cycles. Keep the original render's colour code on file for future reference to ensure accurate colour matching.
Over time, external render may develop cracks due to various factors such as weathering or structural movement. If you notice cracks in your external render, it's crucial to approach the repairs with caution. While it may be tempting to attempt a DIY fix, it's highly recommended to seek professional assistance for cracked render.
Here's why:
Contact our technical department to receive expert advice and guidance on repairing cracked render. Your render deserves the care and attention of professionals to maintain its integrity and keep your property looking its best.
When painting small areas, use a brush to achieve precise results. Be cautious when using a big or heavy brush around windows and trims, as it may cause noticeable texture differences.
For larger areas, employ a roller and apply vertical strokes that overlap by half the roller width. Depending on the existing finish, multiple coats may be necessary. Avoid painting in strong sunshine to prevent rapid drying. Proper masking and straight tape joints are crucial when painting one elevation.
Pro Tip: If you plan to render over the existing render instead of painting, consult our technical department for accurate advice and recommendations.
By following our step-by-step guide, you can confidently redecorate and maintain your external render, ensuring its longevity and preserving the beauty of your property. If you encounter cracked render, don't hesitate to reach out to our technical department for expert advice on repairs.
