Jubosil?

[Boxerman]

Anyone used this stuff and is it any good?

My house rendering is blown in a few areas and I've had a quote to hack off the loose patches of tyrolene and make good with HP Polymer mortar then have 2 coats of Jubosil on top. I'm told that is will be colour fast and waterproof for 15 years. The quote seems reasonable if it works, I'm a bit more wary than I would usually be having spent £15K re-rendering the house only 5 years ago

im sorry did you say you spend 15 grand getting your house rendered 5 years ago?????
how big is your house???

afraid so To be honest it was the best quote at the time and included a separate garage and small outbuilding.

I live just outside Harrogate and we seem to pay more for everything over here as builders/tradesmen presume we're all loaded.

Any comments on the Jubosil?

It is alkaline resistant, highly water-repellent and resistant to all climate conditions, it has good water vapor permeability. JUBOSIL ANTIK is intended for a decorative treatment of façade and interior fine plastered wall surfaces.
