[nickelarse]

[Dansouthcoast84]

Looks just the same

 

[owls]

doesnt look like it has a BBA, never heard of it.
how have you heard about it Paul? do you have a job using it or something

 

[keithuk]

sounds a bit iffy to me

 

[Gibbo]

They have been around ages think mc plaster knows them

 

[keithuk]

i always thought weber owned the word Monocouche ? as a brand for their product ?

 

[Dansouthcoast84]

Bit confusing

 

[Andy M]

Monocouche, I was told ,meant one coat in French.

 

[plasterjfe]

yes it means one coat and weber do have some sort of naming bollix story but how do you enforce the right to own two plain words that are from the human language.

They have been here ages yes they have a product they import and an installation arm to the business

 

[Andy M]

Plasterjfe, agree completely,but Parex is king, especially on price.

 

[Runswithscissors]

As JFE says - company been around for some time....... contracting and importing / distribution arm

We have just done some work with them at Chelsea Flower Show!
Any of you sad gits see the circular white rendered gazibo thingy with blue flashes in the doors and windows......... Curved Knauf Aquapanel Exterior (very easy to do with 12.5mm board, no loss of performance) and these renders..... by this company!

these guys were importing monorex before Parex UK was set up. not sure what the gear is now

as far as price goes weber is the cheapest gear I can find on the Sq m price then parex

 

[McPlaster]

Slow setter, seemed like cpi mono in their own bag to me, more lime than cement. Was OK though and sprayed fine.

 

[nickelarse]

what did u make of the cpi mono??

 

[warriorupnorth]

Had some bags given so used em up on a little job at home, was nice to use and carve

its loose change tho, between the two.

 

[plasterjfe]

weber 7.50 net price per m

cant get better than that from the famous brands

 

[Andy M]

Thats well cheap,Weber to me is 8.5O Keel supply,I think K rend similar and Monorex about 9.30, but the extra 5 kilo per bag has me using it.

 

[Rpc73]

Yh I have used it in london, basically itis the same as K rend, monopral, cemrend. I think they are all the same just different companies.

Looks mega that Paul, Is it easy to do in the Mono ? I take it you scrape back as normal then mark and cut your lines in after ! What do you use for cutting the joints, and is there a standard size for the blocking out ?

 

[lucius]

Dont think Weber have ownership of the word, monocouche its just the French word for one coat in the Spanish Weber book its called monocap which is Spanish for one coat.
