K Rend application process

[Shah1]

Hi lads,

What is the normal process for applying a silicone based render from K Rend? Someone is willing to do the job using a machine but I'm wanting to know if a base coat and mesh would still be needed when applying with a machine?

 

[Builderboi]

Maybe ask the guy doing it

 

[Shah1]

I'd like to clue myself up on here before I start with the questions. He could be telling me anything and I wouldn't know any different!

 

[Builderboi]

Machine makes no diff if needed

Whoever the guy is doing your work surely you done a bit of research on him or if he was a recommendation? Seems like you need to have a bit of trust in the plasterer if you're doubtful that he ain't telling you right why did you hire him?

He was a recommendation, seen some of this work too. However, he tried telling me that a base coat wouldn't be needed as he's applying with a machine! Sounded a little sus to me hence why I've asked the question on here.

Put a pic up of the job?

Didn't take any pics of the work just seen it in person. He's saying that a base coat wouldn't be needed on all walls.

Is this your house or a customer?

Not my house mate, a customer. I'm doing all the research before I give the job as it's a lot of money to be spent.

It all really depends on the background wether you need to put a base and mesh.

 

[S a plastering]

what's it going onto mate new block,brick etc normally over new block they will spray it on over 15mm beads to stop ghosting it will need a base coat then 10mm beads over the top all depends on the background mate as said by flynny

 

[Shah1]

It’s all brick.

 

[flynnyman]

It’s all brick.

I would base and fully mesh

 

[Rigsby]

On brick as said above base and mesh.

He might be considering using a primer like r7 or r10. Thats like Parex’s Microgobetis. That will work but he ought to fully mesh. K rend K1 is known for its cracking.

Buy it off Rendit if you are up North and they will repair it if it cracks. Costs a bit more but worth it with K Rend. Needs to be 15mm beads as well.

I would base and fully mesh

Yeah, but that's another £12 per m2. Can he afford it?

 

[Shah1]

Thanks for the input guys. It’s safe to say with that information don’t think I will be using him. Found someone that will be carrying out the full process including the base and meshing.

You can always get a spec from @K Rend and then you know for sure

Do we have a rep from @K Rend on the forum?

 

[Rigsby]

I don’t think we do. If you ring Direct Building Supplies in Bradford or Rendit in Doncaster they will advise what base coat you needand quote to supply.

[Marshy]
