If you've been considering rendering your dated brick home, then you may be debating on whether the expense is worth it. Rendering involves covering the brick surface with a layer of concrete or vinyl render, which hides the brickwork and creates a smooth and modern finish to the exterior of a home. Here are three reasons why rendering your dated brick home is an excellent idea.
1. You'll increase your home's value
Rendering your home isn't a cheap option. An average-sized home will cost around $12,000 to be professionally rendered. This amount will increase in proportion to the increased size of a home. However, you can confidently expect to raise the value of your home by around ten times the amount of the cost of the rendering project. This is a very high return on investment and is rarely seen following other high-cost home improvement projects.
2. You'll add valuable insulation
Having a well-insulated home is important for most Australian homeowners these days. The main reasons for this are the growing awareness of environmental issues and the ever-increasing cost of the electricity required to heat and cool homes.
Rendering your home will add an extra layer of insulation to your home's exterior walls, helping to keep it cooler in summer and warmer in winter. You'll be rewarded with a significant reduction in energy costs. To increase the insulative properties of the render, you can opt for a render mix that incorporates specially made insulation materials.
3. You'll completely transform your dated home
As well as the financial and practical benefits of rendering, you'll also immediately transform your home from a dated and unappealing dwelling to a modern, stylish and beautiful home. Render provides a sleek and seamless finish to your home's exterior walls that will drag it out of the 70s and 80s and into the 21st century.
Renders come in a wide variety of contemporary colours which will also help to modernise the look of your home. Soft greys, pure whites, dusty blues and creamy stones are all incredibly popular and stunning colours used in modern render that will give your home a fresh and vibrant new look.
