Before you render it's important to seal the surface before painting. Haymes Rendertex Renderprime is a primer and sealer that's been specially formulated to penetrate and seal surfaces. This 100% acrylic pigmented sealer is quick drying, provides superb coverage and has excellent water resistance.
Does new render need sealing before painting?
Hi Philip, Treat new render in much the same way as you would treat new plaster. Make sure that the render is fully dry, best not to paint it until at least three months has passed.
How do you prepare render for painting?
Step One: Render Preparation
- Clean surrounding area, then remove dirt or flaking paint from the wall using a high pressure hose.
- Give the wall a final brush to remove any missed dirt, dust or cobwebs.
- Tape areas you don't want painted and lay drop sheets where required.
