And just to get it out of my system, the main reason why cracks are there is because the contractor does the work in stages, mixing different batches with varying quantities of ingredients.
This makes the drying time different, thereby causing cracks when a particular area drys faster or slower than its neighbour.
Hope this helps!
The cement render is about to be done next week - the area to render is quite big-it is almost impossible to not mix in batches...what is the solution?This makes the drying time different, thereby causing cracks when a particular area drys faster or slower than its neighbour.
Hope this helps!
Also ,my contractor don't want to listen to me, say 1 time cement render instead of 2, says the trick is to water the bricks first before rendering so that it won't crack..
