External rendering underway - June















The external rendering is underway while the internal plastering dries out. House is looking fab.

Next post will have the internal shots of the rooms fully plastered with a coat of white paint plus the external render completed with scaffolding down.


Below are some of the pictures taken during the rendering process, firstly they skimmed a coat of cement over the ICF; then once dried a coat of adhesive was applied (in 1 day!) then the white acrylic render was applied (1.5 days*2men!!).






Pictures of the cement finish drying before the adhesive was applied.







Below is the side of the house shots of the acrylic white rendering with scaffolding still up :- )
All the windows were lined with plastic as applying the white rendering is such a messy job!!!

Really looks fabulous. It's good that wall rendering is available in a range of differing systems to suit all budgets and tastes and ensures you get tremendous value for the money you invest in your home. You can even inquire online.
