Brilliant, I'm a retired builder, who actually served a 4year apprentiship . This product or knowledge was available when I was a spread, or main contactor years ago. Great demonstration, well done.
Nice work good work for fine finish water proofing and hope it will be more strong then ordinary plaster and will take more time if you can even use nice different colours will be more attractive.
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
@@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!
Blaine you have a way of making everything sound like a pun, 12:48 now he's got his end in and lovely curve 😂🤣. Keep up the quality videos buddy and get some more made on the other channel! 👍
Love your videos, super helpful! For the expansion joints do you still put the mesh over it? Or leave that line? Also what tool do you use to get the straight line? Thanks for your help, happy new year! 🎉
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 👍👍
Hi! Very helpful videos. I have a concrete breeze block (quite porous ) wall that is letting water through to my workshop - I want to render it - landlord has put tanking paint on outside but it needs a layer of real waterproof protection- what product shall I look for ? Will this work and will it stick to the tanking paint ? Thank you
Have you used this silicone on rammed earth yet? It looks great and I will be covering the exterior of a new rammed earth home for the Mediterranean style home. Thanks.
I see the side wall was wet to wet, was that just with kzp65, and was the front wall scratched the day before then second coat applied straight to the next day
The Pvc Beading comes in sizes 3.5mm or 6mm In Australia I mesh is ok for 3.5mm Better & Stronger for a flatter Finish use 2 Layers of Mesh in 6mm coating. Yes Expansion joints 6m max. Wide or 3m high in Vertical For Parapet walls build an small angle across the Top surface So no Water pools on a flat surface Windows - Built Header Angles & Lower Sill angles Side of windows Closed cell backing Rod & fill with Sikaflex Polysealants
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
Here's a German KZP stands for Kalk Zement Putz in english it would 1:1 Lime Cement Mortar/Plaster in the past old houses here got only lime mixed with sand, not very strong, we actually called them "water and sand makes a good wall" but it isn't all. In the early 90's when I learned electrician they came up with gypsum but I hate it, the industry only used it because of speed. But if you want a healthy interior use lime, it's antiseptic and because of this no mold can build up ever, ut you should use HL lime. Today I do my own plaster mixes, mostly with lime and sand. You have to look which lime you gonna use, there is air hardened lime and hydraulic hardened lime HL-5 for example, same as cement. Greetings from Germany
As long as your walls are breathable on the inside there shouldn't be any moisture issues from rendering, it also depends on the clients lifestyle?? Washing and drying of clothes on radiators, thick wallpapers and non breathable paints. rendering works very well if you allow for internal air flow
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.
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!
Would this be better than Star Contact for going over cement boards Blaine? I tend to stick to internal work as I hate rendering but giving silicone rendering a go at home on my garage which has been cladded in cement board and been told hp12 is no good for cement board? Jobs mint by the way 👍🏻 good to see your uploads back
Hi blaine, I noticed in previous videos you have meshed with ocr , have you ever has any issues with render delamination between coats? I was on the phone with webber today and tech department has told me to never use mesh with ocr as the aggregate its to big to pass through
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
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 ?
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👍
I like everything but one thing you are missing what will make your work 10 times better. Cause in gb rain a lot so these walls will be dirt after 1 or 2 years at the bottom and silicone reder Hard to wash special if it is with colour. So my advise you should make a 50 or 30cm from the bottom another silicone render but special for foundation but dark colour so this render last for ever and looks same every year as it was reder yestarday. I did it 10 years ago my house and it is still perfect
Seems a shame to cover the bricks they look ok. I would like to see a a removal of old render and re rendering with this as often render is covering poor bricks
@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
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.
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 😂
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 Relax. Most of these people have yet to learn. I've done thousands and thousands and thousands of metres of silicone, (most brands). It is the tops we know, and it lasts.

Excellent job!
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.
Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it!
You do beautiful work.
Hey Blaine glad to see you back, cracking job.
Thanks pal!
Very nice and clean job!
You guys have done a fantastic job, funny enough i live right next door to this house, really does look pukka 👍
Haha that's so funny! Small world...thanks for putting up with us. All the best mate
Nice work good work for fine finish water proofing and hope it will be more strong then ordinary plaster and will take more time if you can even use nice different colours will be more attractive.
That is a cracking job mate..spot on. Looks fantastic.
Thank you pal
This is a question not wont to criticised the work is very professional and the house looks wonderful
What about removing moisture from the inside of bricks?
i like it but what was wrong with the bricks.
lol customers choice
right!

well done cheers.
I agree you normally render to bad brick work or to hide a problem
And that’s why I’ll never buy a house that’s rendered. Once bitten, etc…

Blaine back with a banger!
Ha thank you mate!
Is it breathable?
What about the idea that rendering coats stop the wall from breathing, causing damp issues on the inside of the wall ?
As long as your walls are breathable on the inside there shouldn't be any moisture issues from rendering, it also depends on the clients lifestyle?? Washing and drying of clothes on radiators, thick wallpapers and non breathable paints. rendering works very well if you allow for internal air flow
what about insulation render, same as this with eps board backed

I would personally hack it all off and start again mate. It's more work initially but a lot better in the link run.
that floated basecoat looked insane
Crazy isn’t it
@@PlasteringForBeginnersare you based in the south east area I think I’ve seen you about
Will it improve the heating ?
What happens when the plastic rots and it will
Great work! but what's that stuff do to your bare hands?
Excellent THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful!
How much does it typically cost for a whole house render? I know it'll come down to size of property... But just a rough figure?
Don't as😢
Would this be better than Star Contact for going over cement boards Blaine? I tend to stick to internal work as I hate rendering but giving silicone rendering a go at home on my garage which has been cladded in cement board and been told hp12 is no good for cement board?

Great vid mate. What size beads are you using there?
Cracking job, mate. Which county are you in if you dont mind me asking?
Is a silicone product similar to the latex finish coast we use in the USA ? E.g., STO etc
Get a speed skim with a metal blade to rule or a spat covers more easily than a regular straight edge
Cheers pal
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.
Not sure to be honest mate - never tried it!
Hi blaine, I noticed in previous videos you have meshed with ocr , have you ever has any issues with render delamination between coats? I was on the phone with webber today and tech department has told me to never use mesh with ocr as the aggregate its to big to pass through
I find the look of genuine brick more beautiful than any render.
Does anyone knows what to mix with render so it doesn’t dry too quick ?
Where's the thermal insulation layer?
lovely job mate. how do you go about the plinths, stop bead and render underneath too or render straight down?
Stop bead running through pal - this will stop the damp from bridging
Good job🎉❤🙌
Thank you mate
Banging work my guy😊
Thank you mate. Great hearing from you - I've seen a few of your videos and they're great. Fair play!
@PlasteringForBeginners eey, cheers dude appreciate it! Keep doing what your doing 👍💪
You too mate!
Hiw much is a job like this
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
I'd remove it for peace of mind. It's best if you start from scratch when possible
@@PlasteringForBeginners thanks

What's it look like on the North side of the property in 5 years. Will it accumulate stains from pollution and mould?
Nothing some sodium hypochlorite wouldn't clean
Good old fashioned bleach. That's the stuff.
What about the wall being able to breathe so humidity doesn't build up, synthetic silicone finish maybe good temporarily, but don't breath
How much to do this for a 3 story gable end?
It's hard to say without meterage pal
U cant beat bricks repointed
Love silicone render
Me too!
@PlasteringForBeginners best 💩 ever 😎👍
Hold on did you say " Re-render "
How did you manage that Over clean brick?
If I said that, I didn't mean to! Appologies
Hey there pal, I’m NW who do I contact to get a quote from you please?
I need this on the back of my house. Would you be able to give me a quote please?
The only issue is that it makes changing the windows a problem.
If your going to put stucco on the bricks they should've put styrofoam insulation instead of just putting the stucco directly onto the bricks?
it's a lot easier for the plasterer and a lot more expensive for the customer

Been on continental for ages not new germany 25 years ago
Nice job mate. Would have looked better with a plinth all the way round and not rendered straight to the floor
Cheers mate
Mint bud
Thanks matey
The only problem with silicone render you cant repair it if somebody mistakingly knocks it!
You can repair it as long as you use the right process.
You can repair it pal
I don'TTT geTTT whaTTT he applies at 5:20: someTTThing like "wa-e"...
Silicone render? Is that the stuff they put on new houses that attracts ugly green algae? The stuff you can’t even paint to make it look better.
I Love Whoite people.
Seems a shame to cover the bricks they look ok. I would like to see a a removal of old render and re rendering with this as often render is covering poor bricks
Expansion joint wont do anything if its not already through the substrate you only done it to make the hit smaller
The expansion joint runs right through the base coat. How’s it not doing anything??
@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
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.
@PlasteringForBeginners the movement wont happen if the expansion joint is not through the substrate
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 😂
WHY aren't some workers protected with masks? 😳🤦 Some of particals are not that healthy for lungs...🤷
Killing bricks
Btw Silicone is sand dude!
Sand is silica not silicone.
Silicone? Baumit's literature describes it as lime-cement render...
That’s the base coat, the top coat is silicone
👍
Asbestos 2.0
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.
Fair enough mate
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 .
Of course it’s waterproof. Sand cement cracks more than any other render out there - there’s no flexibility to it!
Be gone child, the adults are talking!
@@PlasteringForBeginners Relax.
Most of these people have yet to learn.
