DIY SOS

[howy1]

Hi all , just been watching diy sos the the outside of the house had cladding which was stripped and was replaced with insulation slabs that looked a bit like polystyrene and then a thin plaster rend to finish .
Can anyone tell me what this procedure is called and whats involved
as i wouldn't mind it on my house , cheers mark

Saw the same prog, they called it ECO RENDER, and reckoned it would save £200 a year.

if you have ever watched,holmes on homes this is not a new idea.think they have been doing it for quite a few years in canada.

still waiting to see when the spray foam insulation will find its way over here

I saw it too.
Glad someone posted on it

Always interesting watching the spreads in action on it.
Mind the guy doing the ceilings with a full set of tressles/planks to step over looked like he had his work cut out not to drop thru and break an ankle.
Not seen stilts in action yet on this programme.

The Eco Render looked interesting.
But the initial brickwork on the house looked ok. Quite a shame to cover.

Don't get me wrong, the final finish looked very good.
Just looked like what was underneath wasn't so bad it needed covering.
Wasn't £1000 mentioned in there somewhere - not sure what area that applied to.

I am not sure if this is the one, but it looks the same.
