It would have been built with lime but if either side has since had unbreathable coating ,paint, plaster or render then would have thought it unecessary expense making just one side breathable again.I think it's based on the walls construction, how do I even find that out?
thanks.
Sorry, I should definitely have been clearer!RG, I would be interested to know the logic behind using expensive lime render on top of cement as to my mind it wouldn't make the wall breathable.
Aahh! instead of ,perhaps I skipped over it to fastdidn't mean 'over the top of' - I meant over as in 'i would prefer this option "over" another option'!
but generally , you are correct.That said I am a decorator, and not a plasterer.
They'll tell you what's what - but want pictures.Some people think they do. They’ll be along shortly.
and what to do, but not how to do it.They'll tell you what's what - but want pictures.
Ah thanks all, I can upload pictures of cracked render, but how does that help? No images show what the walls made of, ill ask a neighbour.
Im confused though, theres no point in using breathable lime on just one side? I thought that lime was just used in render though and not plastering inside?
Secondly when reasearchign this I found that plenty of renderers have no experience with lime and in a couple cases used half measures, just adding a small portion of lime when you were supposed to use a specific and majority of "lime"; I dont understand anything chemically about materials or the rendering process so I worry I could easily get scammed. How do i test potential renderers and make sure I choose someone that really understand the point of the lime's utilisation?
Thanks!
