Hair-line cracking in the render

Legra Grange, 1525 London Road, Essex SS9 2SF

---

The Challenge

---

Hair-line cracking in the render and substrate presented a problem using traditional masonry paint, as it was thought the cracking would show though the paint surface. Hacking of render would have been too expensive and simple render repairs would have looked ugly.

---

The Solution

---

It was decided to use monolastex smooth masonry paint in order to meet the challenge and this turned out to be very effective. It was decided to use this paint as it is very tough, fast drying, colour stable and guaranteed to last 15 years before first maintenance.
