What is a lime render?
A lime render is a coating of lime-based material that was traditionally applied over rough, unsightly brickwork or rubblestone masonry walls. Non-hydraulic lime stuccos and hydraulic lime stuccos are common lime-based renders. In addition to these traditional applications, lime renders can restore some measure of protection to masonry buildings that have been sandblasted. (Sandblasting a masonry building is incredibly damaging. Think of a brick like a loaf of bread-the crusty exterior protects a soft interior, and when you damage this crust you expose the vulnerable interior. Sandblasting dramatically accelerates building deterioration.
