Thanks dreamer, does it come precoloured or do you have to paint it

Oops just read that it comes in a range of colours, thanks

@dreamer I forgot to ask, do you know the difference between the cost of cement render and the Dulux poduct you used, thanks in advance

No, sorry, I do not know the pricing. The dulux acrylic acratex was included in our build cost.

thanks again dreamer, I actually contacted a neighbour across from us who recently rendered his house along with his neighbour who did his in the past year.

This fastidious lovely neighbour I spoke to used the same Dulux product as you and the other neighbour the original sand and cement render, This fellow's son is a city builder and brought his team with him to work on that house

The difference we could see was that

Dulux Acratex, has a base coat and then the coloured Acratex is applied, where as the

Concrete/Render, has the render then a sealant and then two coats of paint

Both houses are 3 bedrooms with large alfresco's, the Acratex cost 15k and we think that the render would work out around the same, just takes a bit longer. Both are very happy with the end result, thanks again
