At Empower Construction, we believe that your building’s exterior should be as distinctive as its interior. Gone are the days when render was limited to a flat, sanded finish. Today, with advanced materials and techniques, we can achieve a variety of textures and effects that transform lightweight cladding systems like AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) and EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) into stunning architectural statements.
1. Smooth Concrete Finish: Modern Minimalism
For those seeking the sleek, industrial look of off-form concrete, we offer:
- Dulux Acratex® Specialty Finish Concrete Effect: This polymer-modified cement compound delivers a smooth, decorative concrete finish, available in both white and grey. It’s designed to produce an aesthetically appealing precast effect on suitably prepared substrates.
- Haymes Rendertex® Artisan Collection: Offering a range of textures, this collection allows for the creation of bespoke finishes that mimic the natural variations found in concrete surfaces.
These finishes provide the contemporary appeal of concrete without the associated weight and structural demands.
2. Metallic and Aluminium Finishes: Industrial Chic
Introduce a touch of sophistication with metallic render options:
- Dulux Acratex® Acrashield® MIOX: This elastomeric membrane topcoat incorporates micaceous iron oxide to create a metallic-style finish, offering both aesthetic appeal and protection for steel-reinforced concrete.
- Haymes Rendertex® Metallic Finishes: Designed for professional applicators, these finishes utilize aggregates like sand, quartz, and marble to achieve shimmering effects that catch the light and add depth to your façade
These options are perfect for feature walls or entire exteriors aiming for a modern, industrial look.
3. Textured and Specialty Finishes: Unique Character
For a façade that stands out, consider:
- Dulux Acratex® Venetian Plaster: From the natural beauty of Marmorino Naturale to the polished elegance of Stucco, this collection captures the charm of authentic lime plaster finishes.
- Haymes Rendertex® High-Build Profiles: Utilizing various aggregates, these renders create textured surfaces that add depth and interest to any building exterior.
These specialty finishes allow for creative expression, enabling you to tailor your building’s appearance to your unique vision.
