krend on timber frame

[Runswithscissors]

Good post here.
A brittle render over a board is a big risk
I've just talked a developer into not building 14 flats on a timber frame with a block outer skim
It's now a thin cost system on a render board
Happy days

More than happy to assist further.

Mono onto renderboard (only AquaPanel) is no problem. We have done loads. K-rends spec is HPX and mesh, 10mm beads and mono..... done, but always get a spec from the render manufacturer so your covered.

Yes but someone said yesterday on Facebook they followed k rend spec and it cracked to s**t!!!

I followed K Rends exact spec and 6 months later they changed spec on timber frame systems.
There has got to be something in that.

It makes you think do these boffins at Krend actually test it on a 8x4 sheet of ply in their factory or out in the open on a real timber frame structure left to the elements all year round,i can't see it i just think they get feed back from the contractors when it goes tits up!

 

[Runswithscissors]

I know the K Rend tech director quiet well..... The do extensive testing in various situations. If you go to K Rend you see lots of their test areas.....

I think it was a matter of systems they had available going back a few years.....

The job I am talking about was only last year.
I'm not saying it's just K Rends system .
After having various reps out to trouble shoot the job the general concensus was that there is far too much weight in mono for timber frame.
It has to flex with differing weather conditions and then it cracks.
