Alternatives To Painting A House

Rendering your house is another option apart from painting. There are various versions of render such as:

  • Sand and cement
  • Polymer
  • Lime

Sand and cement would be the cheapest option, with Polymer and lime being the most expensive. Rendering your house will make it warmer and protect the bricks against the elements, so they stop deteriorating!

If you are still adamant about painting your house then you will need a good masonry paint. Your bricks will need sealing with a sealer and you can then start painting. Here is a guide on how to paint your house.
