Homes and walls in Portadown
We also cover Craigavon and Lurgan, close to Portadown. Portadown sits around 3 miles from Craigavon. 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 Portadown homeowners matching a new extension to an existing rendered house, we compare monocouche and silicone samples first.

Approvals in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Portadown, changing a house's external appearance, and any work on flats or listed buildings, may need permission, so we check with the council.
External wall insulation is building work under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, so council building control is involved, with Technical Booklet F1 covering dwellings.
Where is monocouche used?
Monocouche is best on new or sound blockwork and brickwork with consistent suction — extensions, new builds and garden walls. It's applied thicker than thin-coat renders and scraped once firm to reveal the texture.

Monocouche render in Portadown: questions
Does monocouche need painting?
No — it's through-coloured. Cleaning every few years keeps it looking fresh.
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.
How long does monocouche last?
Typically 20 years or more on a suitable wall, depending on exposure and detailing.
