ICF Renders
ICF rendering helps improve the insulation and durability of the building while providing a visually appealing finish. It is a popular choice for energy-efficient and sustainable construction.
The ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) render process involves applying a layer of render to the exterior surface of a building constructed using insulated concrete forms. These forms consist of interlocking panels or blocks made from materials like foam or polystyrene, which are filled with concrete.
The render process typically includes the following steps:
Surface Preparation: Ensure the ICF surface is clean, dry, and free from debris or protrusions. Any necessary repairs should be made.
Mesh Installation: A reinforcing mesh or lath is often applied to the ICF surface to provide additional strength and support for the render.
Application of Base Coat: A base coat of render mortar is applied to the ICF surface, providing a smooth and even foundation for the finish coat.
Finish Coat Application: The final layer, known as the finish coat, is applied. This coat can be customized in terms of texture, colour, and finish to achieve the desired aesthetic.
