Currently in the middle of a extension which is totalling around 130m2
Property is Bungalow, the previous owners painted the brick work white!
After the extension works has been complete around 50% of external walls will show the white painted bricks.
My plan was to the build the extension in concrete blocks and then render the whole bungalow.
I am now thinking to build the extension in brick and then use same type of slip bricks to cover the white bricks.
Has any one done something similar to provide advice? A fresh render looks lovely however i am not sure about the longevity of it, both from a fashion and durable sense. On a plus point, I guess rendering would add add thermal value to the property?
