COLOUR RANGES /
Our lives would be grey and tedious without colour. Colours create atmospheres, provide identification and orientation. In architecture, apart from pure surface protection, renders and coatings also take on a significant styling function and can help determine the expression of a building.
PermaRock have specially developed colour ranges to provide the building designer the latest offerings in terms of material technology and quality whilst bringing near limitless options in terms of colour choice.
Whether you choose from PermaRock’s outstanding palette of over 1300 colour shades, our exciting ‘metallic effect’ renders or our sensational brick slips and scratch renders, we provide the building designer with unprecedented freedom to create uniquely expressive façades and interesting architectural designs.
All PermaRock decorative aesthetic options can be utilised with all of our external wall insulation and exterior render systems and further dramatic shape and form can be created through simulated blockwork, shadowlines, ashlar effects and architectural profiles to add further expression.

PermaRock’s 3D-Plus Colour range, available for use with PermaRock’s Silicone and Acrylic through-coloured renders, offers even greater choice of colour and combinations to the building designer.
