The walls are up, the roof is on but our single story kitchen extension is taking a hammering from the rain and I don't think rendering is going to take place this year. We're probably looking at about 5 months before it can be done.
The window and door is going in next to secure it but I'm looking for ways to protect it from the elements.
When I built the office we used Tyvek wrap but that was timber framed. With blockwork I'm not sure on.
These are medium and heavy density blocks. I was wondering if there's not a spray treatment that keeps the breathability of the blocks but the water off to help them dry out that doesn't cause issues with applying render later on.
I don't think the blocks are going to dry off otherwise.
