PROBUILD RENDERING GUIDE

How to choose an exterior render finish

A straightforward guide to texture, colour, exposure and maintenance for Melbourne homes.

Match the architecture

Fine contemporary textures suit many modern façades, while more pronounced texture can add character or help visually soften an older substrate. View samples in the property’s natural light.

Consider exposure

Strong sun, wind-driven rain, coastal air and shaded damp areas affect how an exterior coating performs and ages. Product compatibility and correct detailing matter as much as appearance.

Choose colour carefully

Large exterior areas often make colours appear lighter and brighter than small samples. Consider the roof, windows, garage door, paving and neighbouring finishes before confirming a colour.

Plan maintenance

Rendered façades still benefit from periodic cleaning and inspection. Prompt attention to sealant, drainage or local damage can help prevent small issues from becoming larger repairs.

This guide provides general information. The correct system and scope depend on the condition of the individual property.
