An external render consists of a wet-applied mortar/plaster consisting of a mix of binders and aggregates, that is trowelled onto the external walls of a house, often in a series of coats, forming a decorative and weatherproofing skin. This chapter explains the development and use of modern external renders, by: identifying the key purpose and functional requirements of themexamining their development historicallyconsidering the materials commonly usedexplaining the principles for successful design, specification and applicationidentifying key detailingdescribing recent developments in techniques and technology.

A real-like plastered brick-wall was first simulated using CST-MWS, to study the effect of the five-layered wall on the reflection, absorption, and transmission of EMR. The wall layers (Figure 1(a)) are: brick layer = 25.0 cm, external render layer (cement-based plaster) = 2.0 cm, internal cement-based plaster = 2.0 cm, exterior paint = 0.2 cm, and interior paint = 0.2 cm.
