Once you have decided on your installer, the only other choice you have to make is the colour for your silicone render.
Choosing the right colour for your rendering or external wall insulation is not just about aesthetics, it’s about creating an emotional connection with your home. But when there are over 2,000 colours to choose from how do you start?
When selecting the colour for your home, it’s important to consider your personal preferences. Think about how you want your home to feel. Are you wanting it be a serene space, sophisticated, vibrant or playful? Would you rather your home blend into its environment or stand out from the crowd?
To ensure you are choosing the right colour here are some things to think about.
To be able to compliment your home think about the colours of your windows and doors, the colour and type of roof you have. A white coloured finish can compliment white frames however, the slightly off-white range can compliment better.
Slate tiles are grey along with grey window frames are complimented by an off-white colour which has a grey tint. Where you have timber cladding or wooden frames, warmer colours with a yellow tint will compliment these more.
However, if you want to have a vibrant colour then prior to choosing consider your environment, your neighbours and the area that you live can make it stand out for the right and wrong reasons.
Prior to applying any colour get samples from your installer. These samples need to placed against your window frames, doors and look at your roof tiles. This will allow you to see if this will work area to see if the colour will not stand out for the wrong reasons. Be a talking point for the right reasons when it comes to checking the colour of the walls.
For any off-white colours, a further check is required to ensure you are happy with the colour. When you have sunlight glancing down the render it will alter the colour slightly. This glancing light only happens for around 30 minutes a day but will show the tint more.
In these instances, place the samples on the walls for at different times of the day to see how it alters in the light.
For example, one client chose an off-white with a slight pink hue. Most of the day it would look white except for 30 minutes a day when it turned a slight rose pink.
In conclusion, choosing the right colour for the finish of your home is an emotional and visceral decision. Consider your options carefully, and take your time as these finishes will protect your home and enhance its beauty for years to come.
