Abstract

Covers potential problems that, although rare, may occur when render is applied to external walling to cover various substrates. The function of external rendering is usually to provide resistance to wind driven rain, but often it is also used to enhance the appearance of a structure. Problems with render can usually be avoided if the recommendations as to design, specification, materials and workmanship, as given in codes of practice BS 5262, BS 5628 and BS 8000 are followed.
