Case Histories — Lime render to a refurb in Belgravia

The Requirement

There were many differential background materials present including concrete block, brick masonry, concrete & voids.
The architect insisted on traditional lime render over the whole façade.
A high quality render finish with Ashlar markings was imperative, without the risk of cracking.

Treated timber & Riven Laths were attached to the stainless steel sections
Stainless Steel EML & Riblath with Building paper addressed all new/existing joints
A consolidation lime mortar scat coat was used to produce a render keycoat throughout
Traditional Lime Putty, Haired & Coarse render mortar build out coats
Ashlar markings completed the works prior to decoration
