Hello
I've read a few of the posts in this section and it sounds like this is the perfect place to ask all of the questions below.
I've been waving at walls for what seems like a life time, mostly on renovations, multifinish inside, sand and cement outside.We are main contractors but have always kept the plastering in house. I'm aware of all the k-rends and other external finishes available these days but for me it's always going to be sand and cement (or lime) painted every few years, especially as most of our work is renovation in areas where k-rend etc would stand out like a sore thumb.
The arms are not what they used to be and I'm looking to make life easier with a machine,these are my questions, I would really appreciate all of your advice.
Am I correct in thinking that these machines will spray multifinish and a bagged render which can be treated like traditional sand and cement ie weber ocr?
From my reading it sounds to me that ritmos are the preferred choice to say mtecs or others.
Do you need training or could you work it out for yourself?
There seem to be a couple of machines for sale second hand at the moment, are there specific things to look out for when buying these?
Would a small machine like a ritmo plus m do what I want, bearing in mind it would probably only be doing a couple hundred square meters every month.
I would really appreciate your best advice as to be honest it all seems like a bit of a minefield at the moment.
Thank you in advance.
