Say Goodbye To Sand Cement | Silicone Rendering A House FULL GUIDE

[@ianskeldon6032]

Hey Blaine glad to see you back, cracking job.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks pal!

[@howardgluyas9989]

That is a cracking job mate..spot on. Looks fantastic.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you pal

[@TheMan-my1nw]

For someone like myself who has to self learn your videos have helped me a lot. Appreciate the time you put in to show others.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it!

[@bengriggs4832]

You guys have done a fantastic job, funny enough i live right next door to this house, really does look pukka 👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Haha that's so funny! Small world...thanks for putting up with us. All the best mate

[@Ianf1x]

i like it but what was wrong with the bricks.

[@lmilne4859]

lol customers choice

[@duckrabbit6122]

right!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

They were horrible bricks to be fair and the side of the house was heavily exposed to the elements which kept damaging the face work. It was needed to be fair

[@duckrabbit6122]

@@PlasteringForBeginners Thanks for your response and your excellent videos. Really appreciate them.

[@lawrencemanning]

@@PlasteringForBeginnersas in spalling? I think that’s the term. My old 30s house had that style of brick, it’s not great to look at even when they are not falling apart, but render (any type) has its own problems, not least is it’ll need painting every few years. Anyway cheers for documenting your trade, it’s interesting to see!

[@744shinryu]

FYI KZP 65 is sand and cement, but it also has high lime content and chalk. The Germans don’t affiliate lime as “traditional”, it is a mineral to be used, they use it well. Baumit RK 39 is quite abit similar albeit slower setting. The dragging is because there are micro fibres in the mix, it’s why it sets so strong and does not crack

[@blakeevans2963]

Assuming that's high polymer then like johnstones cause that works the same mate when wet up. When using thincoat we always sit mesh alot nearer the surface but each to there own mate. Nice finish eitherway 👍👍

[@MarcusT86]

Blaine back with a banger!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Ha thank you mate!

[@S4SK__1]

that floated basecoat looked insane

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Crazy isn’t it

[@Calloffroz]

@@PlasteringForBeginnersare you based in the south east area I think I’ve seen you about

[@SloopyDog]

it's a lot easier for the plasterer and a lot more expensive for the customer

[@LewRidesBikes]

Very glad I discovered your channel! I've not long bought a house and the garage has some broken render, most just the final coat and the scratch coat is still on and seemingly intact. If I am looking to patch this up myself, would I need to add any pre treatment to the old scratch coat before going over the top to patch in? Not sure if that's the process but looking to patch up myself if not too complicated! Was hoping to use Weber OCR I discovered from your other vids!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I would personally hack it all off and start again mate. It's more work initially but a lot better in the link run.

[@DavidSherlock-z5n]

I agree you normally render to bad brick work or to hide a problem

[@lawrencemanning]

And that’s why I’ll never buy a house that’s rendered. Once bitten, etc…

[@Steve-j7z]

Is silicone render waterproof? will it allow moisture to escape from the building too? That thing to level the render looks amazing, things have moved on loads from when I did a little plastering as an amateur.

[@kaimichael5444]

Do u think kzp would be OK to float up morning after application. I spray render say afternoon spray morning float up. In OK temperature.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Not sure to be honest mate - never tried it!

[@duckrabbit6122]

Excellent THANK YOU!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ted2047]

lovely job mate. how do you go about the plinths, stop bead and render underneath too or render straight down?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Stop bead running through pal - this will stop the damp from bridging

[@Mk6Escort-RS2000]

Hold on did you say " Re-render " How did you manage that Over clean brick?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

If I said that, I didn't mean to! Appologies

[@IzzytheBricky]

Banging work my guy😊

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate. Great hearing from you - I've seen a few of your videos and they're great. Fair play!

[@IzzytheBricky]

@PlasteringForBeginners eey, cheers dude appreciate it! Keep doing what your doing 👍💪

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

You too mate!

[@bumache]

What's it look like on the North side of the property in 5 years. Will it accumulate stains from pollution and mould?

[@KeithChegwin24]

Nothing some sodium hypochlorite wouldn't clean

[@bumache]

Good old fashioned bleach. That's the stuff.

[@Calloffroz]

Get a speed skim with a metal blade to rule or a spat covers more easily than a regular straight edge

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers pal

[@RacinRitchieyt]

hi blain ,if half the wall had pebble dash what would you do to it? i was thinking of having the insulation done and curious if it would need to be removed

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I'd remove it for peace of mind. It's best if you start from scratch when possible

[@RacinRitchieyt]

@@PlasteringForBeginners thanks

[@lloydsmith6373]

I've got one todo any advice going over cement board using atlas product the customer is supplying materials and seems to to think u can use the same material all the way through ?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I've never used Atlas but that's not the case for Baumit. There's a base coat onto the cement board, primer, then the Silicone Top Coat. I'd look into it pal - don't want you to get into trouble with it👍

[@هنر_گچ_کاری]

Good job🎉❤🙌

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate

[@jamiejones642]

Love silicone render

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Me too!

[@jamiejones642]

@PlasteringForBeginners best 💩 ever 😎👍

[@dalibormilanovic3831]

Does anyone knows what to mix with render so it doesn’t dry too quick ?

[@TDOWLP]

The only issue is that it makes changing the windows a problem.

[@MrSa88m]

Expansion joint wont do anything if its not already through the substrate you only done it to make the hit smaller

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

The expansion joint runs right through the base coat. How’s it not doing anything??

[@MrSa88m]

@PlasteringForBeginners if the substrate cracks the render will still crack as the expansion is to allow movement through the substrate as there is no expansion through the substrate it wont allow movement

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

The Substrate was fine (who mentioned cracking??) - it’s a brick built house! The expansion beads needs to be applied to any render spanning over 5/6 metres to allow movement.

[@MrSa88m]

@PlasteringForBeginners the movement wont happen if the expansion joint is not through the substrate

[@Calloffroz]

Why would the substructure crack that would be a massive problem when the render is applied your covering your back for that work you have done. If the brick work moves it’s structural and putting a bead in the brick won’t stop that lmao 😂

[@Lats2490]

Nice job mate. Would have looked better with a plinth all the way round and not rendered straight to the floor

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers mate

[@robevans8625]

How much to do this for a 3 story gable end?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It's hard to say without meterage pal

[@nigelhaines7900]

The only problem with silicone render you cant repair it if somebody mistakingly knocks it!

[@Rabbs-i6b]

You can repair it as long as you use the right process.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

You can repair it pal

[@rockroll456]

Mint bud

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks matey

[@theq-1]

IMO it looks nice from a distance but horrible up close... it looks cheap like sand stuck in paint has just been painted over. Monocouche scraped looks 10x nicer and softer.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Fair enough mate

[@toolrestoration]

Not waterproof !! Give it a few seasons will be cracked , few more will be removable in lumps like old terraline . Cement render all day long .

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Of course it’s waterproof. Sand cement cracks more than any other render out there - there’s no flexibility to it!

[@rich8037]

Silicone? Baumit's literature describes it as lime-cement render...

[@Rabbs-i6b]

That’s the base coat, the top coat is silicone

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

👍

Say hello to bad lungs 🫁 with silicone render
