:RpS_cursing: God this is frustrating !!!! Hi guys ive been trawling the internet for advice on monocouche & k rend, reading the sales pitch & their claims im still stuck, the traditional sand cement is a no go :flapper: it cracks, goes hollow and needs painting ! my neighbour has had monocouche done in ivory more like CREAM & looked the dogs go nads when done it still looks okay after 5yrs but looking a bit dingy close up, i havent seen the k rend.
I have a house & a detatched garage to do aprox 200 m2 & can get all the gear on site, is their anyone out their who knows what they are doing with this stuff, krend monocouche ? k rend monocouche ???:RpS_confused:

Where is the house? Boston Lincs?
 
Welcome to the forum, click on my link and send me an email and i'll give you some info and a price if you wish , don't think your too far from me, as long as its not Boston Massachusetts, but even then if the money's right
 
....is it because you are old Warrior? LOL

You still coming to expo this week? what day?

The sample looks the Bee's Bollox / Dogs Knees... something like that!

northern soul roots & the way you clap at interplay ! der da der der der der der da der clap :RpS_thumbup:
 
bit late with this reply & yes its boston lincs, have you tried brandy & red bull or vodka & redbull even gin & red bull, keep your spirits in the freezer & the other in the fridge, that way you dont need ice leaving more room for the alchohol .....:RpS_w00t:

lol. Think you'll find most of the guys on here aint really big drinkers?............................yeh right:RpS_lol:... Brandy and red bull you say.. Mmmmmmmm:RpS_thumbup:
 
Sand and cement all the way! As long as its gauged and mixed correctly according to the background then it won't crack or blow, but as it is now with everyone wanting it done asap and as cheap as poss the outcome is these New render systems.
Ya pays ya money and takes ya chance.
 
@ benbosh , any thing done correctly will last for years, don't get me wrong I'm old school , sand n cement course my veins but you can't beat a mono job done correctly, in my opinion and acrylics for that matter, the emphasis on work done correctly
 
Yes I must say if the jobs done right then it's a matter of the finish u wish to achieve I like mono the best but then I like to think of myself as a modern renderer plus u haven't got the expense of having to have it painted I think warrior would be your best choice in your area
good luck

id second that,
i did my apprenticeship with old school lads, so it was sand cement all the way, and as such did sand cement render for years, but like anything you have to move with the times.
my only argument with mono work was, that due to it being an open matrix, it was open to getting dirty over time, but now the render manufactorers have addressed this by introducing non solvent based sealers that are uv resistant and last the duration of the render, to mist coat over once the render has dried out.
so it will stay clean and as you finished it for forever and a day.
