Hi All,
We are building a timber Frame house and the Frame Maker recommends Sand and Cement on Stucanet.
I know, I know there are those that think this is DAFT, and I should be having a silicon jobbie...But it appears that
Silicone Self-Colour render will be TWICE the price of the above method ...unless I am wrong (its 70m2)
So going back to the Stucanet ...I have a cavity that is 50mm out from the timber frame ...and then essentially the brick. It is brick downstairs and render up top ...
So essentially the brick being 100mm thick means the lower face of the house will be 150mm from the TF
If i use Stucanet ..is there no other "backing" ?
I am not sure the thickness of the render on top of the stucanet, but if this is fixed to the 50mm standoff battens on the TF, I cant see it being anywhere CLOSE to brick below in terms of thickness
the architects drawing does show the render area set back a LITTLE as there is a tile crease seperating them from the render ...but it LOOK like a few inches ....or am i wrong
here is a near identical house built several years ago
any advice?
