Repainting Old Monocouche Render

Understanding Monocouche Render

Monocouche render is a through-colour render that provides long-lasting protection, breathability, and UV resistance. Over time, UV exposure, weathering, and dirt can dull its finish, so proper cleaning with Everbuild PVCu Solvent-Based Cleaner helps prepare the surface for repainting.

Signs You Need to Repaint

Look for fading, staining, minor surface cracks, or mould and algae growth indicating moisture penetration. Repainting with a breathable, weatherproof coating can prevent further damage and improve insulation performance. Learn more about breathable render systems

Preparation Steps

Inspect the façade for cracks or damage, then clean with a low-pressure wash to remove loose particles and contaminants. Repair cracks using our patch repair and colour matching service, and allow the surface to dry completely before proceeding.

Choosing the Right Products

Select a high-quality primer designed for mineral substrates, such as Ceresit CT16 Primer (10 L), followed by a breathable masonry paint. Our stock includes UV-resistant, flexible coatings to accommodate thermal movement without cracking.

Step-by-Step Painting Process

Clean: Remove dust and contaminants using recommended cleaning agents.
Repair: Fill cracks with compatible filler and smooth with a Kubala Stainless Steel Spatula.
Prime: Apply a breathable masonry primer such as Ceresit CT16.
First Coat: Use a roller frame like the Harris T-Class Delta Roller Frame for even coverage.
Second Coat: Enhance durability with a second layer using a Blue Dolphin Paint Roller 330 25cm.
Inspect: Check for missed spots and touch up.

Maintenance Tips

Maintain the finish by cleaning the façade annually and inspecting for signs of wear, and apply a protective clear coat every five years to extend paint life and preserve performance.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Skipping the cleaning step before painting.
Using non-breathable paints that trap moisture.
Painting in extreme temperatures or damp conditions.
Ignoring hairline cracks that can widen over time.
