Cement rendering

The application of a premixed layer of sand and cement to stone or mud brick concrete is known as cement rendering. It is often painted, textured and colored after the cement has been applied. It can be used to feature an interior wall but is generally used on exterior walls. Depending on the required look, rendering can be natural or colored, pigmented or painted, fine or coarse and textured or smooth.  

Acrylic rendering

Acrylic premixed renders have superior strength and are water resistant. They can be used on a large number of surfaces than cement render, including cement blocks, AC concrete paneling and concrete. Compared to traditional renders, some premixed acrylic renders have a smoother complexion. Various finishes, patterns and textures are possible like, chip, lime wash, clay, sand, sandstone, marble and stone. Depending upon the product, they can be sponged on rolled, or troweled. 

Solid plastering

Venetian plastering

Venetian plastering is very versatile and can be applied to any type of surface, no matter whether a new or pre-existing wall. It is much safe when used on stones, tiles, cement boards, drywall, wood and bricks. Durability is another excellent advantage of Venetian plaster. We use the highest quality Venetian plaster and ensure that the surfaces are elegant and smooth.
