Understanding the difference

Insulation and render.
Different scopes.

Recently Rendered does not install complete board-based external wall insulation systems. Our work includes exterior rendering, suitable refurbishment and spray cork coatings.

If your aim is to add insulation to the walls, that needs its own assessment and complete system specification. A new decorative finish should not be assumed to deliver that work.

What is different?

A complete board-based EWI system incorporates an insulating layer and the associated fixing, reinforcement, junction and finishing details. Render can be part of that system, but the render finish alone is not the whole installation.

Spray cork is a thin refurbishment coating for suitable surfaces. Its role and build-up differ from an insulation-board installation. We do not promise a particular insulation value, energy-rating change or heating-bill saving from a cork coating.

Existing wall construction, moisture and previous finishes still need assessment. A coating is not a substitute for dealing with loose render, an unresolved leak or unsuitable materials beneath it.

Work we can discuss.

For a sound existing surface, we can discuss suitable cork-coating refurbishment. Where the render itself is failing, the appropriate scope may involve repair or replacement before a new finish.

The York photograph is a genuine spray-cork record, with the masonry profile visible. It does not show insulation boards or establish an EWI installation by Recently Rendered.

When enquiring

Explain whether your main aim is appearance, repair or additional insulation. Tell us what is on the walls now, which elevations are involved and whether another contractor has already specified an insulation system.

Any proposed rendering work needs a clearly agreed scope and compatible specification. This page does not offer insulation design, board installation or responsibility for a third party's complete EWI system.
