K-rend/silicone render for painted brick walls, typical steps involved and cost per sqm
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.37 PM
I have an old house 1900's with the rear walls painted. The paint is now flaky and look ugly. I am thinking of having them rendered rather than pointing. Forgive me I am not a builder (worse still, I am a woman) so I may ask silly questions: 1. I am thinking about the K-rend system or silicone render. Can someone kindly tell me: (i) if this kind of system is suitable for my situation. (ii) I read that 2 coats are needed with Stainless steel mesh...I dont know if this is right. A short description from an expert is appreciated. (iii) Should the old paint be removed to the bare brick first? 2. Any alternative system(s) you can suggest for long lasting and "maintenance-free". Thanks a million for your help in advance. Nicki
