Before we quote in Antrim
As well as Antrim itself, we quote in Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast. Antrim is about 14 miles from Belfast. Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Parts of County Antrim fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
Extensions and new blockwork in Antrim are where monocouche makes most sense.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
For Antrim homes, the council's planning office has the final say on external changes; conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need an application or consent.
Building control applies to insulation and major re-rendering in Northern Ireland, and the work is signed off by the council.
Can monocouche go over insulation?
No — insulation systems use a mesh-reinforced base coat and a thin-coat finish instead. If you want insulation as well as a new finish, see insulated render.

Monocouche render in Antrim: questions
How long does monocouche last?
Typically 20 years or more on a suitable wall, depending on exposure and detailing.
Monocouche or silicone for an extension?
Both work on new blockwork. Silicone over a base coat costs a little more but tends to stay cleaner.
Is monocouche waterproof?
It's water-resistant and sheds rain, while still allowing some vapour through.
