Get the modern rendered look with an exterior render makeover

Rendering is one of the most effective ways to improve street appeal, add value and create a contemporary look for your property.

Whether your project is a commercial building, home renovation, or apartment complex refurbishment, Eco Coating Systems can apply an exterior render system that is easy to maintain and looks spectacular.

The experienced team at Eco Coating Systems has completed many render transformations across the Sunshine Coast and South-East Queensland. Modern render systems consist of several layers, with the components depending on the substrate and your desired finish. There are different types of render systems for each substrate such as brick, block, off-form concrete, Hebel, blue board or green board. 

We’ll guide you through the products, finishes and colour options available to achieve a result that suits your desired look, property and budget.

Exterior render finishing options

Render and Membrane Paint: Eco Coating Systems highly recommends render and membrane paint systems for maximum longevity and low maintenance, regardless of the substrate. 

A render and membrane paint system is ideal for converting bricks to render for a modern texture coated look. A variety of different looks can be achieved including a natural flat look or a textured sponged finish.

Coloured Render: Coloured Render can produce a range of finishes from a subtle flat finish to a traditional “bagged” render finish, or a coarse, dramatic look. Coloured Render is a great option for converting existing bagged render finishes to a more contemporary appearance.

One of the most popular looks is achieved with Rockcote Sandcote, which delivers a smooth, natural finish with a slight sparkle. For more options, check out the Rockcote Coloured Render range.

Micro Concrete: Get the concrete look for floors, walls or just about any other surface.  Micro concrete is engineered for commercial durability but is equally at home in a residential environment where it makes an ideal concrete floor alternative or vertical surface covering.

It is strong, robust and can be tinted to a multitude of colours. Micro concrete is ideal for creating the ultimate modern and sleek look for exterior or interior walls, floors, alfresco areas, outdoor kitchens, columns, wet areas or just about any feature you can imagine.  

Why choose a render and paint system for a brick home or commercial building?

There are several options for rendering over brick but we use and recommend a render and paint system for the following reasons:

• Weatherproofing of the building and coating system
• Excellent crack resistance
• Modern look with an attractive sponged finish
• Variety of textures available
• Easy to clean and maintain

What to look for in a quality exterior render system

A render system is not just about aesthetics. It also plays an important role in protecting the substrate beneath. The top layer of the system should also prevent any water from making its way into the coating.

With thorough surface preparation, superior products and quality workmanship, you can expect a render and paint system to last 10 years or longer – without the need for repainting. 

A quality system will feature a flat, evenly finished surface, with no cracks or gaps. Corners will be well protected and you should be able to see control joints to allow the coating to expand and contract when exposed to various temperatures.

Eco Coating Systems uses and recommends ROCKCOTE products and systems which produce an exceptional, long-lasting and durable finish. There is a QBCC home warranty insurance and a (10-year minimum) manufacturer’s warranty.
