How many shades of grey for rendering?

Grey is an on-trend, yet timeless colour

Grey is an on-trend yet timeless colour for any façade – whether going for a modern grey house or a charming classic style. Grey can be used liberally as a statement colour — check out how webersil TF in Welsh Slate defines this modern self-build dark grey rendered house — but it's more commonly being used as a neutral base instead of the standard Cream or Ivory. Take a look at how this light grey rendered commercial refurbishment in Dublin has been improved using our webertherm XP scraped system (EPS) in Pearl Grey with Stone Grey detailing.

Using a mix of styles on a project

Choosing an external render colour for a building is a big undertaking. If you're unsure, consider using it as a feature panel on an elevation using the a thin coat façade system and if you don't love it, you can always paint it with a different colour using webersil P.

You can even consider mixing rendered sections with brick sections using a thin coat brick system which uses weberwall brick as the brick-effect finish – Sanded Slate and Sanded Black are excellent choices to complement your design.

Looking for speed of application?

Looking for speed and efficiency? Our one coat monocouche render systems are available in a range of popular colours which can be finished with a modern scraped texture or a traditional roughcast texture which offer different a look, feel and style for a building.
