ProGuard Exteriors completed a spray cork wall coating transformation on a detached bungalow in Chalfont St Peter. The property was in need of some nurturing and restoration after the existing painted pebbledash finish had become cracked, tired and weathered over time.

Overview

The detached bungalow had a painted pebbledash finish that was showing several common signs of exterior deterioration. Visible cracks, flaking paint and isolated areas of blown render were present, leaving the exterior looking tired and in need of repair before any new coating system could be applied.

The homeowner wanted to refresh the appearance of the property, create a cleaner and brighter finish, and choose a practical coating system that could also help improve the energy efficiency of the home. Following a detailed assessment, ProGuard Exteriors recommended a CorkSol insulated cork render system finished in the customer’s chosen colour of White.

Our Response

Before the CorkSol coating could be applied, the team carried out the required repairs to defective areas using EWI Pro premium base coat. This helped restore the problem areas and create a sound surface for the new finish.

Where sections of pebbledash had come away, a Tyrolean pot was used to recreate and blend the existing pebbledash texture. This allowed the repaired areas to sit more naturally alongside the surrounding finish before the bungalow was sprayed with three coats of CorkSol insulated cork render in White.
