Render options

[WWilts]

For thin joint blockwork external leaf + render

 

Little or no knowledge about render & options

Wondering whether to go for

Silicone thin coat 
Monocouche
Other 

 

Probably have to move out in a few years, so don't want to go over the top on costs.

Most of the silicone renders are good Monocouche  at £15  per bag. Is pricier than K Rend

I quite like sand / cement / lime.  Either leave plain (if you don't have exposed render beads) or paint.  Applied by a top plasterer it will last over 60 years.

I went for white cement, silver sand and white chip wet dash.  Gives a bright white finish without painting and far cheaper than k-rend or similar.

Looks nice 

We still do a lot of wet dashing in the Lake District
