What Is Internal Concrete Rendering?

 

To begin with, it is probably worth examining exactly what concrete rendering is.

It is the same as rendering with cement – both terms are interchangeable. Either way, rendering with concrete is a very low-cost way of forming a smooth wall surface on any type of masonry.

If you have an internal wall made of besser blocks, for example, then concrete rendering can make it look much smoother and aesthetically pleasing. It can also spruce up internal walls made from standard brickwork.

What is the mix for cement render?

All that you need to render a wall with concrete is a mixture of sand, cement, water and lime. Coarse sand is perfect for the first layer of render while fine sand makes for a more attractive finish for the final, outer layer.

The lime helps prevent unwanted fissures from forming once the water has evaporated out of the mixture. So you are left with a hard, dry and smooth finished layer.

A common mix ratio used for rendering is 6 parts sand, 1 part cement and 1 part lime

It is fair to say that concrete rendering is usually used outside because it has protective qualities. It helps protect walls from excessive sunlight and rainwater. But, this does not mean that it is only good for outdoor applications.

Rooms like bathrooms and kitchens can benefit from the water protection properties of concrete rendering. But because of the versatility of concrete render, you can used it on any interior wall simply to make it look better. It can also cover up any outdated styles and imperfections in the masonry.
