Lime Render Facade Restoration
Location: Middle Park
Building Type: Heritage, residential
Budget: $25’000
This Melbourne terraced house, heavily altered by previous renovations, was up for a fresh façade. The project’s goal was to optimise technically
the compatibility between the existing materials and the materials we chose for the
restoration.
Since the ground floor ingress and façade were rendered in a modern cement render and painted with an acrylic paint system, it was recoated and painted with acrylic paint.
On the first floor and parapet, we preserved the existing renders and used natural hydraulic lime render (NHL) and mineral paint free from any polymer additives to avoid future damages.
