Alright guys, this probably sounds stupid to some of you but here goes..
On internal rendering..
When its a single skin wall and theres no cavity it obviously needs waterproof rendering right..
So when there is a cavity you dont have to render but can dab or float, right...
Now surely if the wall is a cavity wall, when you plaster the reveals you are bridging over onto the first skin, therefore creating a means of damp getting through to the plaster/dabbed walls?
Let me know if you dont understand what Im getting at, simple if I could show you what I mean! just something that came into my head as I had two jobs recently patching up around a backdoor where the render was blown/damp, one was single skin and the other had a cavity.
