The Complete Guide to Cement & Polymer Renders

Modern rendering systems do more than improve appearance — they also enhance durability, weather resistance, and overall building performance.

At Metrobuild, we supply premium render systems from trusted brands including Rockcote, Unitex, and Euromix.

What Is Cement Rendering?

Cement render is a mixture applied to walls and surfaces to create a smooth or textured finish. It is commonly used on:

• Brick walls 
• Concrete surfaces 
• AAC panels 
• Fibre cement sheets 

Traditional cement render delivers a strong and durable finish suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

What Are Polymer Renders?

Polymer-modified renders contain added resins and polymers that improve:

• Flexibility 
• Adhesion 
• Crack resistance 
• Water resistance 

These modern systems are ideal for contemporary construction methods and lightweight substrates.
