Local considerations in County Armagh
Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across County Armagh: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
For County Armagh homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

Approvals in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (NI) 2015. Changing the external appearance of a house may need permission, and conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need planning permission or listed building consent. Check with your council's planning office.
Insulating external walls is building work under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, handled by council building control, with Technical Booklet F1 covering conservation of fuel and power in dwellings.
Acrylic or silicone?
Both are thin-coat, through-coloured finishes. Acrylic is more flexible and slightly cheaper; silicone is more water-repellent and vapour-open and generally stays cleaner. On older solid walls that need to breathe, silicone or mineral finishes are usually preferred.

Acrylic render in County Armagh: questions
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
Can acrylic render go on a solid stone wall?
It's not our first choice there, because a vapour-open finish is safer on walls that need to breathe.
How long does acrylic render last?
Typically 20–25 years or more with maintenance on a suitable wall.
