Advice from a architect forwarded to me, mmm twits

The product is called 'Sika 1', and it is an additive to a regular sand/cement render.


The render needs to be 18mm thick, and it can be applied to damp substrates.


For every 25kg of cement, you add 3/4 litre of additive.


Can be purchased through builders merchants such as Travis Perkins.


See link below. Contact their technical department for further details and any other queries.
