Hello All,
I'm looking to have a house rendered, it's constructed in Porotherm monomur (Large clay bricks/blocks). I've been recommended to use a Parex product such as Parlumiere or Monorex. As far as I can see these products are generally Hydraulic Limes (NHL3.5) mixed with sand and colourants.
I don't mind paying for the guys to do the work, but would like to reduce the cost of the materials. The Parex products are coming in at about £10 for 25kgs, covering 1-2m2. I can buy NHL3.5 35kgs for about the same price, mix it with sand (cheap enough) to cover more than 5 times the area.
Am I missing something here or is it cheaper to buy the serpate components and mix yourself to end up with a comparative product?
