Tha That was always my first concern that i needed a way of doing it by which the wall could breathe whilst minimising condensation.If id just straight rendered it,i think it would effectively be no different to how it was originally.I was attempting to create a cavity,small though it would...

Sbr/cement slurry,scratch laid up well before sbr had set,labourer in front painting it on. Scratch coat 4-1 sand/cement with free flow.Sand was 50/50 washed plastering and sharp silver. Belcast/stop bead installed at dpc to prevent bridging(render was bridging before) 5-1 top coat again with...
