ANY BUILDERS ON HERE?

[DEERMAN 1,020]

Hi,

 

Im after some advice ,build 2 x 10ft by 6ft sheds with runs attached, the sheds are single skin breeze block with upvc doors, the problem is with the one where it is located that when it rains, the rain soaks through the single skin wall,is there any type of render or something i could waterproff it with?

 

Thanks DM

hi mate it needs rendering but when you render it you need to put some waterproofer in the mixer when you are

mixing you can buy the waterproofer from and builders merchant hope this helps

dont think so mate with it only been a single block wall rain is always gonna come in

thats why a house has a 50mm cavity so when the rain dose come through it drops down

the cavity then on to the dpc tray then out of the weep holes .

 

dont think rendering will make a difference mate it will just soke through same as the block. but a might be wrong bud

 

did you put dpc (damp proof corse) on you bottom corse of block??

like bondy said mate render it and add a good ltr of waterproofer to every mix you make ,first a good scratch coat with waterproofer and then a good top coat with waterproofer in it ,leave scratch coat for a day or so before you put second coat on and when second coat is just about set rub it over with a damp sponge this will seal it all nice and strong and you should end up with something like this,dont do it while the weather is freezing wait till it gets a bit warmer

cheers lads, ive also thought about lining inside with batten and boarded on top, ive got a 4ftx 4ft insulated box inside shed so dogs are sorted ,

Have you got gutters fitted? If rains pouring off the roof down the wall it will stay wet even with waterproofed render.

What about just painting it with a masonary paint ??

cheers mate been up about ten years now ,try putting aco drains around the bottom to take any water away thats running down your walls ,and it all depends on what block youve used to build them with ,if youve used clinka block you,ll have to render it as they act like a sponge to water ,these are compressed ash and are very light and rough to touch ,if youve used solid concrete block very heavy to lift and a smooth finish on them you may get away with just painting them ,but if you do it proper they will last forever

A good sealacrete will help also, on top of whats been suggested.

p.s great set up, looks mint.

[steptoe jet 4]

dont put waterproofer in scratch coat only top coat.

[BULLDOUG 199]

dont put waterproofer in scratch coat only top coat.

 

 

Good point as the second coat will not bond. i would light render one coat, tyrolene and then sealacrete, all water would be repelled.

if you dont put waterproofer in scratch coat it will crack and blow off in time trust me, been a plasterer for 15 years mate ,the top coat with just get all the water sucked out off it and will not set how its supposed to ,with water proofer in scratch coat the top coat will hang all day and set how its suposed to,a lot stronger and you get a proper finish otherwise it will go all bread crummy ,you can also use an acclerator / frost proofer as surgested but water in these conditions will still swell and then it will just blow off the scratch coat ,you need a few days of a nice temperture to do the job right or your just waisting your time ...hope this helps
