Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Feb 28, 2018 5:51 pm Hi we have an old 1950s double brick home and are looking to brighten it up with a nice coat of render. Our renderer suggested to spray a coat of bondcrete to roughen the surface and assure adhesion. Then normal sand and cement render. Then a top finishing coat of ROCKCOTE sandcote hydroguard acrylic colour render. He suggested that it is very good. Has good adhesion and crack resistance and also water resistant and is durable against sun and other elements. I’m concerned if I go this way how it would look in 10+ years time? Will the colour still look good? Will it look clean? And if it didn’t look good and deteriorated how will I go about bringing it back to life? Anyone’s help or experience on this product will be greatly appreciated! Re: ROCKCOTE sandcote hydroguard acrylic colour render 2Mar 02, 2018 8:20 pm I have used the acrilic colour renders on clients properties for years and they still look great 15+ years on. Check references of other properties that the contractor has performed similar work and look at how they have finished up. Could be good peace of mind. Good luck with it. Regards James Mason www.renovationjunkies.com.au Re: ROCKCOTE sandcote hydroguard acrylic colour render 3Mar 06, 2018 7:11 am Thanks for the reply. If I’m the future it needs to be freshed up what’s the process? Does it need to be ready rendered with the coloured render or can we just paint over it?? Re: ROCKCOTE sandcote hydroguard acrylic colour render 4Mar 06, 2018 7:21 am Also in the interior we have done some wall chasing and modifications to the windows so the walls need patching with render. Our renderer has informed us that coz of the old render and old paint on it the areas which he patches with new render will stand out once entire wall is painted. He advised us to roughen the surface of the old painted rendered parts and re render the whole wall?? Is this the correct procedure or is there a better way? Has anyone ever used the acrylic render with colour in it on the interior of a house? What it be more suitable to patch the sections needed with sand and cement then do a coat of acrylic render with color in it over the whole wall so it all matches and also will not need painting. Can anyone advise on this???

You would really need some serious justification to apply acrylic to the bricks (and pay twice more). Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply again. I had a chat with the builder, he said he will use primer, then hydrotec which comes with colour and sealer as well.
