cwr Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 After being told that K rend is getting hard to get, builder has recommended Weber's monocouche. We were just about to ok that but saw a house recently done in Weber chalk white and thought it looks too creamy. As far as I know that's the whitest they do. Now i know colours are very subjective... but what other options are there that can recommend?
Conor Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 We've started rendering with Sto standard white. It's stunning.

Conor Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 @cwr cant honestly say. I do know they need dry and mild weather to apply the top coat. good time of year...
cwr Posted November 8, 2021 Author Posted November 8, 2021 I phoned both Sto and K rend this aft, they both said just that, and advised leaving it a few months. K rend confirmed 4 to 5 wks lead time. Part of the reason for considering Weber was that you can apparently add some sort of accelerator to make it set quicker so less susceptible to the weather. Wonder what other options there are?
cwr Posted November 12, 2021 Author Posted November 12, 2021 So, need to find a render than can be applied this time of year. Any suggestions? Either that or leave till the spring. Any risk with leaving blockwork exposed over the winter?
Mr Punter Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Painted. Sand : cement : lime site mixed or OCR in bags. Paint colour lasts far longer than most of the through colour.
