Hi,
I am relatively new to this forum and this is my first post so please excuse any errors or stupid questions.
I am getting an old timber framed house rendered after removing previous sand/cement render. I am using 25mm Savolit woodwool boards directly onto the timber frame as per "Skanda" savolit technical spec, then taping the joints and intending to render with 2 coats lime render with mesh in first coat. I was hoping to use "l*m*-g***n" Duro basecoat and "l*m*-g***n" Natural Finish ( a through coloured top coat) to avoid painting the finished render. However, my renderer has some reservations about these products in terms of flexibility, despite "l*m*-g***n" technical department saying this would be fine. Their website mentions many benefits to their products but doesn't say much about flexibility, which is a concern. I can't seem to find another through coloured lime render though.
My second question is: should I use a breather membrane on the timber studs, before fixing on the Savolit boards.
Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks.
