This maybe should be on the building forum but here goes.
Not far from were I live is a council estate, where the housing authority are replacing the existing windows which are double glazed, they were only replaced about 10 years ago, with new double they may be tripled glazed windows!!
That is bad enough but, and I have never seen this before, they are also fixing some type of cladding, about 75 mm thick on the external rendering and then rendering on top of this..
Has any body else seen this and if so how effective is it and what does it cost?
One of the residents on the estate who I know, told me that even though he had bought his council house he was given the option of having this rendering done if he wanted, for the nominal sum of £1
Finally were the hell is the money coming from.!!!
