A Modern Choice for Exeter Properties
Over the last few years, more homeowners across Exeter have been moving away from traditional render finishes and choosing silicone render instead. It’s become one of the most requested exterior finishes we install, especially for people looking for something durable, modern and low maintenance.
While appearance is a big part of the appeal, the real benefits go much further than looks alone.
Built for Devon Weather
One of the biggest reasons silicone render has grown in popularity is how well it performs in the Southwest climate.
Exeter homes are exposed to regular rainfall, damp conditions and changing temperatures throughout the year. Older render systems can struggle with this over time, leading to cracks, staining and moisture issues.
Silicone render is designed to cope with these conditions much more effectively. It is water-repellent, breathable and flexible, helping to reduce the risk of cracking and allowing moisture to escape from the wall beneath.
A Cleaner Finish for Longer
Traditional render can sometimes attract dirt and algae over time, especially on properties exposed to damp conditions or shaded areas.
Silicone render is far more resistant to this. Many systems have self-cleaning properties, meaning rainwater helps wash away surface dirt and keep the finish looking fresher for longer.
For homeowners wanting a clean, modern exterior without constant maintenance, this is a major advantage.
Modern Appearance and Kerb Appeal
Fresh rendering can completely transform the appearance of a property, and silicone render is known for its sleek, modern finish.
Available in a wide range of colours and textures, it gives homes a crisp, contemporary look that suits both older and modern properties across Exeter.
For many homeowners, it’s one of the quickest ways to improve kerb appeal and modernise the exterior of their property.
Flexible and More Resistant to Cracking
One of the common issues with older render systems is cracking caused by movement and temperature changes.
Silicone render is much more flexible than traditional sand and cement render, making it better suited to properties that experience slight movement over time. This flexibility helps improve durability and extend the lifespan of the finish.
Ideal for Insulated Render Systems
Silicone render is also commonly used as the finishing coat on insulated render systems.
As more Exeter homeowners look to improve energy efficiency, external wall insulation combined with silicone render has become an increasingly popular solution. It improves both the thermal performance and appearance of the property at the same time.
