What is Monocouche Through Colour Render?
Let’s start with the basics, what is Monochouche?
The render, monocouche, is a popular type of external house render used to protect the house
from the elements and give it a beautiful decorative finish.
The Name Monocouche As you may have assumed by the sound of the name,
the term ‘monocouche’ originates from French and means ‘single layer’ or ‘single bed’.
This type of render originated in mainland Europe
and has been growing in popularity in the UK ever since.
What are the Benefits of Monocouche Render?
As we mentioned above, monocouche renders are recommended by specialists
because of their thickness, longevity and range
of stylistic options available when it comes to the finish.
Here are some of the benefits you can enjoy after
choosing a monocouche render for your home
You Can Pick Any Colour You Want
Monocouche renders are mixed on the base of white cement,
so they come pre-coloured in a wide range of shades.
Therefore, there is no need to paint on top of it.
Once the render is dry and the work is complete,
your property is left with a finished look you can be proud of.
It’s Less Time-Consuming
The main reason why conventional rendering takes a few
days and sometimes even weeks is that each layer of render has to
dry completely before the next one can be applied.
You won’t have to worry about that with monocouche –
it’s a thick render that only requires one layer.
Lasts 25+ Years
Monocouche render typically lasts over 25 years
with no cracks or need for repainting.
It is one of the most durable types of render on the market.
Better Energy-Efficiency
Due to its thickness, monocouche render
has superior thermal qualities,
making your home warmer during
the colder months and reducing your heating bills.
Is Monocouche Through Colour Render Breathable?
Breathable materials are permeable; they can transfer and evaporate water efficiently.
Transmitting water prevents mould development,
cracking and discolouration, making your rendering last longer.
Monocouche is breathable, allowing water to pass through.
However, it still offers additional heat insulation.
With that in mind, monocouche rendering materials cost significantly more than other types of render,
and that is the only real disadvantage of using monocouche. However,
you should remember that while monocouche is more expensive,
the application is cheaper and faster, saving you money on labour costs
and reducing the duration of the house improvements.
Plus, factoring in that repainting is not necessary,
the cost of monocouche rendering does not seem that high anymore.
What About the Cracks?
As great as Monocouche Through Colour Render is, there is no rendering in the world that does not crack over time.
Monocouche has a minimum life expectancy of at least a quarter of a century.
Yet, cracks will eventually appear one day. If you find yourself in this situation,
you would probably want to know how easy it is to fix those.
Small cracks are relatively easy to repair.
They can be filled, and a well-done job leaves the texture and durability of the render as good as new.
The only problem you may experience is getting the colours to match,
particularly if a vibrant colour has faded over time.
In this case, your renderer might offer an additional repainting service to recreate
the external wall’s original look, colour and finish.
Large cracks shouldn’t appear unless the render has a severe defect or issue.
If they appear, contact a specialist immediately to repair the damage and
advise you on the work required, as well as the cost of the project.
You do not need to paint over a monocouche render,
as rending alone leaves your desired stylistic effect. However,
if you want to refresh the outside of your house in a few years
or decide it is time for a complete colour change,
then yes – you can paint over the monocouche render.
It is highly absorbent and can be painted over with
any type of paint you choose, just like a normal render.
Cleaning Monocouche Through Colour Render
Over time, monocouche can get dirty, and rust and algae build-ups are typical.
Painting over this dirt can do more damage than good. Instead,
professional cleaning is always the best option.
You should not clean the monocouche for 28 days after applying it,
as it is still hardening, and cleaning could damage it.
Don’t worry. It should not need cleaning this early into its lifespan.
