Just added uplights to our renovation and saw this. House has been rendered in K render. Is this normal, or does it need re doing. The lights are only 7 watts, look brighter as I focussed on the render!

 

[Danny]

oh wow!!

Uplighters are not going to help but.....

whats it look like in the daylight... if it was plastered in daylight it has to be judged in day light

(I would not be happy though)

 

[zippy7788]

its patchy - with some cracks or patches visible... its weber monocouche - not k render - my mistake..

Here in southern spain yup thats the norm kinda porridgy looking

 

[wiganlad]

Oh dear

 

[brian shaw]

I actually think it looks a good affect! But I can't see it in the flesh! Knock off and re do

 

[algeeman]

I like it .....looks like an old spooky castle.

 

[Vincey]

Swap the lights to some in the ground 2 -4 ft away pointing at the house it will probably look ok then...u must of thought it was ok in daylight when u paid him

Uplights will show everything and no matter how good you are, how long you've been doing it they will fook you over.

They even show brickwork up that steps out only a fraction I'm talking 1 or 2 mm.

While that is not great don't expect much better by stripping and redoing, it's a hand finished product, if you wants straight flat walls you might be better cladding it.

Vauxhall motors stopped usind down lights when manufacturing there cars because the paintwork looked horrendous.
There built by a multi million pound machine with metal.

 

[Marshy]

I'm guessing when you put your fancy night lights on your inside your house anyway!?? Alcohol helps in these situations lots of alcohol

 

[kgreigh]

Taking a photo in the daylight will help us judge if it is acceptable,as said above up/down lights show every tiny hump and hollow and magnify it.there is a premier in local to me that is done in mono and it looks good,big panels no misses and looks nice and flat but they put some purple up lights on the side and when turned on at night it certainly doesn't do it any justice.

 

[Dansouthcoast84]

It doesnt look great. And the fact its cracking. The render is a failure. Get them back im afraid

 

[MikeAtthis]

if you're advertising a rock climbing school it looks good

 

[vfr12]

Hacienda style! Nothing wrong with it! You are missing only the sun

 

[MikeAtthis]

the cowboys have already rode in to the sun lol

That needs to come off, its dogshit.
I've rendered countless property's that have had up/ down lights fitted and whilst they will highlight any defect it shouldn't look like that, that's shocking.
I doubt it looks much better in the day.

Might the wattage of the bulbs ...i just got the feeling that it looks o.k in daylight and it's the lights that make it look s**t.he has probably paid good money for the job and £2.99 for the lights

Give up mate, whatever light you shine on that it will look the same because that's the shape of it.

[FreeD]

Slapped on and scratched back. No use of a rule here. Horrible lights.

 

[Fatarm]

Use black lightbulbs.

 

[Vincey]

Did you do it ??!!

No matey...I knew I would get asked that...and I don't know who did before u ask

 

[Vincey]

It's very common practice to have up/down lighters on rendered buildings as the light texture makes a good effect. That is bad workmanship. Looks like it's been hand applied and scratched up without an I section
