Rendering
The surface to be rendered is thoroughly checked and any dust or debris removed, then primed using a powerful adhesive/sealant product.
A first coat of sand and cement is then applied, any evident cracks in the building are at this point covered in Expamet steel mesh to help prevent them recurring.
A second coat of sand and cement is then applied on a different day. This is then worked to a smooth finish by using a sponge faced float initially and later using a sponge to obtain the finest possible finished product. The rendering is then ready to be painted.
Replacement of defective 1930's Pebble Dash render.
After removal of the original rendering, the bay area was then insulated and a waterproof membrane installed. Expamet steel mesh was then fixed to the original timber frame and the bay area then two coat rendered.
At this point the rendering can be painted with masonry paint or sprayed with a cement based product called Tyrolean. The image above shows two bay areas sprayed with Tyrolean.
Tyrolean is a durable, protective product. The colour pigment is mixed into the Tyrolean itself, meaning there is no need to repaint in a few years time. A jet wash of the Tyrolean every few years keeps it's appearance as good as new.
Tyrolean is available in six colours.
