Hi Everyone,
Just looking for a bit of advice here.... I have a client who's house is covered in 1960's hanging tiles..she would like to remove the tiles and render but would also like insulation added externally...this is my plan..
Remove tiles, leaving felt and batton in place.
Fix 25mm celotex or similar.
Fix 12mm cement board, tape all joints.
Now, the tricky part... She is on a fairly tight budget, so monocouche and acrylic renders are out of the question. The desired finish is stone colour so my intention is to use a mix of yellow, holme, white cement and lime ( test panels to be made up to achieve desired mix). Is lime a bad idea? Maybe allowing moisture through and making joints visible?
My worry is how well this is going to adhere to cement board, should i use steel mesh/ fibre glass mesh? Also ive heard of rendering first coat onto a tacky Sbr slurry?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
