Re: Need to pick your brain about render 5Mar 17, 2015 12:19 pm onc_artisan ^^ and that too Hmmm good question. Two of my kids have recently had homes built and they also have chips off the corners of the render. I asked why 'corner profiles' aren't used. Apparently they are available but more expensive. WTH? can't be more expensive than having to fix the corner chips. I have rendered a couple of houses as you do..(getting vertical flat is a peicesa....) ...and also acrylic rendered an administration and lab building for BHP at Beenup in WA and that was tough stuff, colour through trowel applied. Pretty sure the impact resistance would be better than conventional sand cement lime render. The acrylic would have less maintenance I'd have thought. Though if you waterproofed 'oxide' coloured render with siloxane as I did(and another 60 or 70 rendered homes), the maintenance is well reduced, it is only when you paint it that maintenance becomes an issue. my 2 bobs worth Thank you onc. I would of thought those corner profiles would be standard as it looks dreadful with all the chips. So yeah that's what it seems to be, my issue is acrylic would be less maintenance but sand & cement looks better. Thanks for your 2 bobs worth You may still have a case, but your next step is to speak to a lawyer. 3 803 I am looking for someone who might have tackled a similar issue as me. I have a few rendered interior walls, the surface condition is hardly flat. I can see all the bumps… 0 5745 |
