Hi, we're beginning to build a new home and we're tossing up between render and limestone. We're looking for an Italian style house either with a pinkish/beige render (acrylic render?... whatever is the term for the latest rendered finish) or 100mm limestone blocks built instead of the outside brick leaf (NOT cladding).
I'd love some feedback from anyone who has either type of exterior wall and can tell me the pros and cons - wear, maintenance etc
We know that limestone will need sealing and are prepared for this but are there any drawbacks once this is done?
thanks for your help.
