Why just settle for standard paint when there’s a bevy of beautiful interior wall finishes just waiting to bring your indoor space to life?

At Autex Render we love when our clients take the lead and inject personality into their interior with out-of-the-box wall finishes.

Autex renders on both internal and external walls perform a number of functions. These include better waterproofing, improved fire rating and an improved appearance through the use of coloured or textured renders.

BEFORE APPLICATION

To get the best results it is important that the application must be done right, that it is properly applied to the correct thickness in the appropriate number of coats and that attention is paid to curing. 

Before you start you need to ensure that the surface you are rendering is free from dirt, dust, oil, grease, paint, silicone or friable material. Smooth dense surfaces with low absorption rates like concrete or metal window frames should be tested in small area before application.

APPLYING THE FIRST BASE LAYER

As a guide for thickness you can nail wooden battens of the correct thickness vertically to the wall which also gives you a clean edge to work to.

Using your steel float, start forcing the first layer of Sharp Edge Texture Gel on to the wall. Keep applying the render until you have reached the desired thickness. Once the thickness has been reached, Gently trowel smooth with a steel float.

You will need to let each coat dry for at least 24 hrs before applying the texture second coat.

SECOND TEXTURE LAYER

Apply a smooth layer as the first one. Immediately use towel to create textured pattern. To do this, you’ll need a plastering trowel to apply the gel. Using your hand, scoop the gel and firmly press the render to the first layer. Use the technique to get the pattern you want. the technique for pattern requires a bit of practice – you won’t be an expert on your first attempt! Take as many attempts as you like. Let it dry for at least 24 hrs. Expect 20% shrinkage. Fully dried coat is water resistant.
