Sand and cement not polymer modified stuff?

[bobspread]

not sure keith, never used ocr weber but i can see why puffey done it in s&c the quoins look 15mm thick ,you wouldnt get it with a base coat,not in one coat anyway

 

[keithuk]

ocr is sand /cement ,just means you can one coat it mate ,great for small areas like this @bobspread

 

[Olican]

[bobspread]

[keithuk]

@Olican is it me mate ? ,your work got slated ? ,trying to be nice to this guy whose work was also great ? ,i give up

 

[Rigsby]

Those air grates are a problem for me sometimes depending on the finish.

Recessed looks naff but screwing the plastic on is impossible and sticking them on nano is a no go.

Anyone else had problems with air grates or know of an easier way of getting over the problem?

I'm sorry to say Keith but I've been looking at some of your work and I've zoomed in and using a magnifying glass I can see a couple of misses Shocking

Speaking as someone who knows chuff all about EWI and rendering, looking at the depth of it on those pictures a plastic vent brick would sit in there. I'd imagine that'd be easier to fix in place as it'd be in the EWI and render rather than on it?

 

[keithuk]

must try harder ,sorry @Olican

 

[Deleted member 23452]

Yes, thats a good idea. It would work on a 90mm system but not sure about 40mm?

I will measure the depth of one next time I go into the merchants. It will certainly look neater than a grille over the top.

They're usually 56 to 60 mm deep with 15 mm or so of that being the outer lip. You can get old and new brick sizes, along with the double height ones.

 

[keithuk]

Even when we mono ,i always put new air bricks in ,for the sake of a few quid
