Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 25, 2020 11:00 am Cladding vs rendering?? Hi folks We are Building a new house- Double storey 304sq m. First floor is cladding with R1.5 insulation batt, ground floor is facebrick as standard to the remainder area. I would like to have rendering across ground floor and first floor. Just coz of its look and I heard it will increase value of its house. About to sign HIA contract soon. Need to negotiate with the builder - can anyone please suggest opinion on the standard what we are getting is good? And please tell me the best price I should negotiate if I want it al rendered. Location of house - Springfield, QLD. Many thanks.

Thank you for your reply. Any idea on which rendering material should I choose that's value for money? The floor area is 304sq m with ceiling height 2590mm for both storey. Can you please tell me what might be area for either sides for rendering??? Many Thanks Syd Re: Cladding vs rendering 4Apr 25, 2020 12:05 pm Cement render over brick and acrylic render over your cladding. Keep in mind that cement render will require painting over, while acrylic render is more expensive but comes already with the colour in it, hence, if you want both floors to match, it will be better to do all acrylic. Total area will depend on your layout and amount of glazing, roughly 300-350 sqm for your size.
