Traditional sand and cement render looks good when it is new, but it can crack, stain and need regular painting. Silicone render solves most of those problems:
Spray-Applied Silicone Render in Aldershot
Silicone render is the modern way to finish the outside of a house. It is tough, flexible and water-repellent, it lets your walls breathe and, because the colour runs right through it, it never needs painting.
At Skim Infusion we apply silicone render using a professional spray machine. Spraying gives a smooth, even texture across the whole wall, with no visible joins or patchy areas. We render homes across Aldershot, Farnborough, Farnham, Fleet, Camberley and the surrounding towns.

Why Choose Silicone Render?
-
Water-repellent
Rain beads up and runs off the surface instead of soaking in
-
Breathable
Moisture inside your walls can still escape, which helps prevent damp
-
Self-cleaning
Dirt washes away with the rain, so your walls stay cleaner for longer
-
Flexible
It moves slightly with the building, so it is far less likely to crack
-
Through-coloured
The colour runs right through, so there is no painting and chips do not show
-
Low maintenance
An occasional gentle wash is usually all it needs
Why We Spray Rather Than Hand-Apply
We have invested in a dedicated spray machine for silicone topcoats because it makes a real difference to the finished job:
-
A more consistent finish
The same texture and thickness across the whole wall, with no trowel marks or patchy joins
-
Faster application
Large walls are finished quicker, which can mean less time with scaffolding on your home
-
Better results on large elevations
Gable ends and tall walls are coated evenly in one go
Silicone Render Types We Can Apply
There is more than one type of silicone render. During your free visit we will recommend the right system for your home, its position and your budget.
-
Standard silicone render
The most popular choice. A thin-coat, pre-mixed topcoat with high water-repellency, good flexibility and full breathability. Ideal for most homes.
-
Silicone-silicate render
A hybrid that combines silicone resins with silicate. It offers excellent breathability with good water-repellency at a more affordable price.
-
Anti-algae (bio) silicone render
Contains extra protection against algae, mould and organic growth. Ideal for north-facing walls, shaded gardens and homes near trees, where green staining is a common problem.
-
Nano-technology silicone render
Uses fine nano-particles to shed dust and dirt quickly when it rains, for maximum self-cleaning performance and weather resistance.
-
Scraped texture render
A thicker, through-coloured render with silicone mixed right through. It is applied and then scraped back to create a textured, traditional-looking finish.
-
Thin-coat silicone render
A fine pre-mixed finish in a choice of grain sizes, usually 1mm to 3mm, applied over a reinforced base coat and primer. The grain size affects how smooth or textured the finished wall looks.
-
All-weather silicone render
Formulated to dry and cure faster, so it can be applied in cooler and damper conditions. Useful for keeping autumn and winter projects on track.
Colours and Finishes
Silicone render comes in a wide range of colours, from crisp whites and soft greys to warm creams and bolder shades. We can bring colour samples to your free visit so you can see them against your own brickwork, windows and roof.

Scaffolding and protection
Windows, doors, paths and plants are covered and protected.

Preparation
Loose or failed render is removed, the wall is repaired and beads are fitted to corners and edges.
-
Base coat and mesh
A reinforced base coat is applied with mesh for strength and crack resistance.
-
Primer
A primer is applied to give the topcoat an even, well-bonded surface.
-
Spray-applied topcoat
The silicone render is sprayed on in your chosen colour and texture.
-
Clean-up and handover
We clear the site, remove the protection and walk round the finished job with you.
Silicone Render for Extensions and Older Homes
Silicone render is a great way to tie a new extension into an existing house, or to give an older property a complete new look. If your current render is cracked, hollow or stained, we can remove it and replace it with a silicone system as part of the same job.

Silicone Render FAQs
How long does silicone render last?
A well-applied silicone render system should last for many years with very little maintenance. The lifespan depends on the system chosen, how well the wall is prepared and how exposed your home is.
Can silicone render go over existing render or brick?
Often, yes. Sound existing render and brickwork can usually be prepared and rendered over. If the old render is cracked or hollow it needs to come off first. We will tell you which applies during your visit.
Does silicone render need painting?
No. The colour runs right through the render, so it does not need painting and small chips do not show.
Can you render in winter?
Render needs dry weather and temperatures above the manufacturer's minimum. All-weather silicone renders let us work in cooler, damper conditions, so many projects can carry on through autumn and winter.
How much does silicone render cost?
The price depends on the size of the walls, access, scaffolding and whether old render needs removing. We give a free, no-obligation written quote after visiting your home.
How long does the job take?
How long it takes depends on the size of the house, the preparation needed and the weather. We will give you a realistic timescale with your quote.
