Hi chaps,
I want the rear elevation and part of the side of my bungalow rendered. The bricks look horrible on that part of the house, with mismatched colours on an old extension and ugly pointing, and I want to freshen it up. Perhaps there are other advantages as well, like weather repellency. The render will go from the DPC level to the soffit on the hipped roof original house and up to the fascia boards on the flat roofed extension.
It absolutely must be fully breathable as I don't want moisture issues in the walls, and it will need to be able to cope with green type staining from all the trees we have around here - or be easily washable with a hose. Part of it will also be fully exposed to the sun in the warmer months as well so being able to cope with that as well as rain.
I'd be grateful for any advice or thoughts about best types and what your experiences are.
Many thanks!
