Types of Flat Roof

  The types of materials that are used in the making of flat roofs all differ greatly with their qualities and inefficiencies. Here are just a few of the most popular materials and the pros and cons; Felt - This is the most popular form for flat roofing systems in Rayleigh SS6 8 because it’s cost efficient. It can be used on any type of roof and has been used for many years with proveable results. The disadvantages are that it is not the easiest to repair yourself and it needs heat to install as bitumen is melted over the seams.

The negatives are that because of its overall weight it needs a strong foundation to support it, it’s fairly rigid, and it is not easy to repair yourself. EPDM Rubber - Hard wearing, flexible and lightweight making it incredibly simple to install. The downside is that rubber can shrink ...

Plaster vs Render: What’s the difference?

  Plastering and rendering are both the process of covering walls. The main difference in the two practices is that plastering refers to coating the interior walls, whilst rendering is the coating of exterior walls. The major distinction between plastering and rendering is the strength of the materials used in each. Nonetheless, plaster and render are both made from the same building materials of cement, sand, water and lime gypsum. Rendering Rendering is used to coat exterior surfaces of buildings and contains a higher percentage of cement within its composition. Rendering is applied to the outside of buildings to not only make the outside facade more visually appealing, but also provides waterproofing and fireproofing efficiencies. Rendering is composed of lime gypsum, sand and cement, bonding agents, drying additives and colouring. Lime gypsum is key to giving the coating its creamy appearance and smooth finish. Finer sand must be used in the rendering mixture to create th...

What Is Internal Concrete Rendering?

  To begin with, it is probably worth examining exactly what concrete rendering is. It is the same as rendering with cement – both terms are interchangeable. Either way, rendering with concrete is a very low-cost way of forming a smooth wall surface on any type of masonry. If you have an internal wall made of besser blocks, for example, then concrete rendering can make it look much smoother and aesthetically pleasing. It can also spruce up internal walls made from standard brickwork. What is the mix for cement render? All that you need to render a wall with concrete is a mixture of sand, cement, water and lime. Coarse sand is perfect for the first layer of render while fine sand makes for a more attractive finish for the final, outer layer. The lime helps prevent unwanted fissures from forming once the water has evaporated out of the mixture. So you are left with a hard, dry and smooth finished layer. A common mix ratio used for rendering is 6 parts ...
