Whats the best type of render for a stone house?
Question:I would like to render / coat my house in some kind of rough but even coating so I can paint it. I would like to do it myself with some kind of proprietory coating (cheaply) and not roughcast/pebbledash etc. Any ideas?
Answers:
I am a pro plasterer,get someone to do it,u can try yourself but if it comes off u will pay a fortune getting it right! Are u in uk? prices here in hampshire range from £16 to £22 per sq m. E-mail me if u need more advise and good luck.
Leave the natural stone on show!
Failing that, you can get Sandtex and paint it on directly.
oh my friend if you are going to render please have a smooth finish! i have a rough rendered bungalow here in wales, it took myself and my partner a whole week to paint it last year and more litre of paint than you can ever imagine. If smooth render costs a little more at the outset the investment will pay dividends over time.
