What we look for in Kirkcaldy
We cover Kirkcaldy and nearby Glenrothes, Edinburgh and Dunfermline. Kirkcaldy is about 12 miles from Dunfermline. East Central Scotland mixes stone tenements and terraces with post-war council housing and harled bungalows and semis.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Fife: 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 houses in Kirkcaldy with shallow eaves, the insulated render thickness is planned with the roofline in mind.

What texture will it have?
Thin-coat renders come in grain sizes, typically 1–2mm. A 1.5mm grain is a common middle ground: fine enough to look smooth from the street, coarse enough to hide minor imperfections.

Insulated render in Kirkcaldy: questions
Will my house look different?
Yes, if it was brick or pebble dash. If you want to keep a brick look, a brick-slip finish over the insulation is an option.
Does insulated render need painting?
Through-coloured silicone and acrylic renders don't need painting. Mineral renders are usually painted with a compatible masonry paint.
Can insulated render be applied in winter?
Only in suitable weather — typically above 5°C and rising, with no frost or rain during curing. Winter programmes allow for lost days.
