🤩 Massive transformation in Smithills using 's Portland Stone SR15 Silicone Thin Coat Render.
This project started with the complete removal of the old, weathered tile cladding. We stripped out all battens, felt and lead work before installing insulation between the joists and fitting new lead to ensure a solid, weatherproof build-up.
The insulation on the dormer was then covered with a vapour barrier and cement board system before beads and a reinforced mesh base coat was applied. We double meshed on the stress patches to prevent any cracks. After that we topped out the base coat ready to prime and thin coat in Ecorend's Portland Stone SR15 silicone thin coat render, giving the property a clean, modern appearance.
To create a seamless finish across the entire elevation, we also chipped back the existing stone cladding and incorporated it into the render system. This was primed, reinforced with a mesh scratch coat, re-primed and finished in the same silicone thin coat render to perfectly complement the dormer.
The transformation speaks for itself 🔥
It's going to look even better once the garage door and lower window frames are finished to match the new anthracite windows and front door, tying everything together beautifully.
Quality preparation = quality finish. 👌
