As we near the end of the cold, damp winter months and look forward to the brighter days of spring, external rendering season is here! The milder temperatures and lower risk of frost create the perfect conditions for external rendering and external wall insulation projects to take place. Now is the time for installers, builders, and homeowners to gear up for a busy season ahead.
At EWI Store, we know that spring marks a turning point in the construction calendar. Projects that harsh winter weather delayed can finally get underway. So, if you’re considering upgrading your property’s exterior, improving its energy efficiency, or tackling a major renovation, read on to discover why spring is the best time for external rendering – and how we can help you get the job done.
Why is Spring the Best Time for External Rendering?
Winter poses several challenges for external rendering projects. Cold temperatures, high humidity, and frequent rainfall can all interfere with the curing process of renders and adhesives. However, as the weather warms, conditions improve significantly, making spring the perfect time for external rendering and EWI installation. Here’s why:
Faster Drying and Curing Times
Most modern renders, including silicone, acrylic, and mineral-based products, require stable conditions to dry correctly. If the temperature drops too low, the render may not set properly, leading to potential cracking or adhesion issues. With spring’s moderate temperatures and improved air circulation, your external rendering has a better chance of curing efficiently.
Lower Risk of Weather-Related Delays
Heavy rain and frost can delay external rendering projects, causing costly setbacks. Although occasional showers are still possible, spring weather is far more predictable than winter, reducing the chances of weather-related interruptions.
Better Working Conditions for Installers
Let’s face it—working in the freezing cold or under constant rain isn’t ideal for any tradesperson. Spring provides a much more comfortable environment for installers, improving efficiency and job satisfaction. After all, happy installers lead to better results!
Preparation for the Summer Heat
By completing external rendering in spring, you ensure that your home or building is well-protected before the heat of summer arrives. External wall insulation systems help regulate indoor temperatures, keeping homes cooler in hot weather and reducing energy costs.
