How long does render take to dry?

Question

We've just had the front of the house rendered. The plasterer said to leave it a few weeks before painting. Is that right, or can we get the decorator in sooner?

Hi it depends if sand cement render or silicone render & thickness etc.
I'll wait depending on weather 7 dry days . Once colour changes .

I believe it’s takes two or theee days depending on the temperature of the house. If the house is colder, it can take longer to dry

Alan · Answer

It depends on thickness of the 2 coats and the weather if its cold much longer and ifbto hot can dry to quick and crack

Ryan · Answer

Weather dependant and and back ground scratch coat 24 to 48 hours and full render system to be fully cured and dried 4 to 6 weeks 2 week difference being the weather

Ryan · Answer

Ideally best to wait couple weeks but in warmer weather you can do sooner and you can literally see it dry. Hope that helps

Standard cement render can take up to 6 weeks others like silicone acrylic renders take 24/48 hours

John · Answer

The longer you leave it the better, I would agree with the tradesperson who done the rendering

Steve · Answer

Yes plasterer is right the render needs time to dry out

Once the render is grey it's good to paint 2-3days
