St Annes brick

[Plasterite]

I’ve got 48m2 of St Anne’s brickwork to render (external plain face) very tight beds and perps, aprox 5mm, brick is semi engineering / glazed, thinking of using sbr, rib lath and k rend, not used it before ? :-\

 

[S a plastering]

think you might have to use hpx over riblath but not sure maybe one of the others might be able to tell ya

or you could use parex microgobetis which is a solution meant for giving you a key on smooth concrete etc which would suit the your bricks too.....just roller it on and render next day

HPX is a stronger polymer than hp12 its still made by krend

Hi Plasterjfe
Thanks m8, I did search on tinternet and noticed hpx is supplied by krend, I’ve never used it, still hard to know which is best, I’ve always used sand, lime, cement, but would like to try some modern stuff

 

[plasterjfe]

well the krend is easy to get hold of as its in alot of the big suppliers and they will carry the hpx and hp12 along with your colours but also weber is a big over the counter stockist too. I would just ask with your nearest suppliers what they got then decide. for the application you talk about I think weber with rend aid is a safe bet

Absolute criminal who would want to render over face brickwork like that, wronguns.

I nearly asked the same question, but saw £ signs to be honest the brickwork is dreadful and prob devalues the house and i think it would look ok, a few of the surrounding houses are rendered
Just found this site, Roughcast / wetdash
