Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Apr 16, 2016 8:00 pm Hi all, A section of our house is clad in rendered 'Greenboard' and I want to pave next to this side of our house. This greenboard drops down the outside face of the house slab but is lower than the intended finished surface of the paving - so the bottom edge of the greenboard would be buried by the paving substrate. My intention is to do the paving so that there is a (say) 25mm gap between the paving and the rendered greenboard, and then fill the gap with concrete. Would this be the most appropriate way to manage this situation? other suggestions? Thanks - Mick This is the existing situation (as far as I can tell): Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And the planned paving: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Paving against Greenboard house cladding 5Apr 17, 2016 2:11 pm infill concrete could have gaps, canshrink, crack and have gaps.
