render trim - where on earth can I get this from

[Haylingbilly]

Hi all, I am currently rendering onto a timber frame and looking at battens, render board and a thin coat render.

The architect has specified a trim at the base of the render board - for insect control I guess, but also to feed the end of the breather membrane into.

I can't find anywhere who supplies these - can anyone help please?

Architects are great for specifying things that are hard to find. Where did he get his drawing from?

 

I've seen stuff like this..

Is it one of these beads?

Once you know what you are looking for exactly you can ask at your local builder's merchant or render supplier.

I have used this https://www.squaredealupvcshop.co.uk/product/hardie-top-vent-strip/ in the past but it is quite expensive.  I have also used stainless steel mesh on a roll, stapled to the battens https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stainless-Insect-Mesh-0-94mm-0-22mm/dp/B077XY6PWJ

we used soffit vents - you can get them in different colours though you dont see them anyhow, cheap as chips and easily attached and cut down

I used standard alu vented track and drip with mesh.
