Hi all

Not posted on here for a couple of years - but had loads of help when I
did... so thanks....

I'm here this time to understand 'render'. I ecently had a wall of a barn
'tyrolean' rendered. Seems ok - but got a few hairline cracks - is that to
be expected?

I've just had a company out to quote on sorting out the gable ends &
chimneys - and they use a product made by Renotex - a breathable resin
render.

Has anyone got anything good or bad to say about it?

Thanks in advance

Simon


Hi Simon,
'tyrolean' render is old hat now. It has a very bad press. So many
cowboys simply hired a gun (a fiver a day or so) and used it to spit a
bad mix over untreated walls.

It is essential that all cracks are remidied a week or so before the
aplication. If yours has cracks in it then you are in for trouble as
the rain will penetrate the affected areas and once under the coating
it has nowhere to go other than straight through to the iner walls or
straight down, both are not nice.

Good luck, Roy
