lol but what sort of material is sakret ??? is it a mono type render/bucket render or just a different type of cement ?
ive scoured the internet and can only find a german website !!??? does anybody know of any uk stockist that i could contact

That's what it thought it's a possible bucket coat, weird how it's different sizes for the wall and the plinth

heres a link mate

How to Use Sakrete Bonding Cement to Create Mortarless Walls - The Home Depot - YouTube

seems to me that the spec says 20mm render in 2 x 10mm coats with acrylic top coats of 1mm and 2.5mm repectivley they are contradicting themselves by one minute stating "FAIR FACED" = smooth and in the next breath 2.5mm Graining finish

exactly mate i think the foreman will have to get hold of the architect other wise it will only be wrong !!

 

[bubbles65]

Probably the specifier (architiect) is being lazy and copying from other specs :RpS_thumbup:

 

[spunky]

Not contradicting themselves they say plain faced with graining finish, it could be something like Marmorits noblo our equivalent if it's too be painted, bit thick though innit?

 

[LPSplastering]

im pretty sure it,ll end up being a k-rend type mono

Used Sakret in Germany many years ago , nice stuff , finishes nice, it's basically an ocr base rend then sounds as though its topped with a mineral top coat , and their plinth render is just the same as other manufacturers , try to get the system changed to one that's easier to get hold of such as marmorit, parex erc

the 2.5mm cross grain finish are they talking about church finish ? where on the finish coat a straight edge is held against the wall and with a sharpe sand mix you drag a float in the upright position, horizontal to expose a cross grain finish. so that the grit leaves like a tracts

when you say mineral render do you mean bucket render ??

Similar, but it comes in a bag them spray on with a machine and paint like the noblo spunky was on about earlier

I did a big curved wall for my cousin a few months back and did it in krends hp12. Finished it with a sponge float and it left a really nice finish. Looks flat but it has a fine grain to it also.
