Yeah Jamie, still had them crack on double mesh. I put it down to brickies not giving a f**k about their bond. I’ve asked one bloke I work for to start using concrete lintels on top of IG lintels.Gents
Weber silver pearl at about 10-12mm over roughly 3mm rendaid.
Full mesh
Hairline cracks above window edges.
I used rendaid as it was lightweight blocks, should i be double meshing those stress points ?
There is quite a few complaining about cracking a lately on the talk groups. Probably heat causing thermal movement. Over bi folds is a problem but I am not surprised.
I would have fully meshed the rend aid and put stress patches in the top coat.
But if you look into Webers very small, small print they insist on that mortar reinforcing mesh fully embedded 500mm before and after the 45 degrees sheer line in one long length. Same below the sill.this is in the block laying mortar.
If Weber came out after you insisted you did it all to the book then out comes the metal detector. If there is no reinforcement detected where they say it should be then they walk.
But unless the architect knows about this he wont spec it on his drawings.
So it’s the architects fault.

U correct, but also a slurry coat over the concrete lintels 1st, it’s pulled into quick and that’s why it’s cracked, unless brickwork not pointed up well etcYeah Jamie, still had them crack on double mesh.
