Re: Hebel v's Brick - price 12Jun 11, 2013 1:58 pm There is no way in hell i would even contemplate tackling a build like this, or a part of it, as i simply dont have the knowledge or the time to do it. So let me get this out there, hebel01 is telling me it has to be rendered so that it will be weather resistant etc, yet ecofriendlybuildings is telling me that rendering it would not be a good idea as the hebel has joins in it which could create cracks in the render which i believe would be the case as render isnt really that flexible...... just conflicting stories that arent necesarily wrong, just adds weight to why people like myself get confused on what products do what thats all Re: Hebel v's Brick - price 14Jun 11, 2013 9:40 pm Tony, i know what you mean, but my house shouldnt move either but it has and i have had a couple of small cracks in the render from the house settling. I would imagine, and hope like hell, that the cracks shouldnt be an issue once everything has settled properly Re: Hebel v's Brick - price 15Jun 12, 2013 3:03 pm trust me brad you have to render it, atm im doing a 3 year project .. a retierment place with 300 small houses every single one gets rendered. porter davis homes use hebel on some of their build and they render it, so does metr-icon simions homes calise homes catger grange and so on, i dont understand why they would tell you not to render it. yes yhe house does move thats why between 7 panels their should be a control joint and battens from behind where the control joint is must be cut at well ( so its completly seprate from the other panels but still attached to the walls). if the panels are glues and fixed properly you shouldnt get cracks. go get a panel of hebel and just pour water on it look at how it would just suck it right up, once its rederd and painted, water will just slide right off. price for redering hebel isnt more then $30 per mtr This is 100% true. You can not hang anything on steel frames. very frustrating 8 10008 Hi Kristy Around $1.7-1.8m or around $4,600/sqm. if you PM me your email I will send you a break up in a spreadsheet so you can get an understanding of the costs for… 1 12798 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6592 |
