    Anyone know a good one...?

    Lime render with recycled glass base coat(s), (and mesh?), and top coat on woodwool boards on ventilated cavity, on timber frame. Me to supply. Boards by and cavity by my blokes.

    Needed September...

    So... as my timber frame contractor meander slowly toward a completed design and perhaps one day this year get round to fabricate and erect it - my window for lime rendering before the frost starts to look vanishingly small.

    So first off how late in the season is risky (we are in urban/suburban Sheffield)? and failing that what are my alternatives to my preferred lime with recycled glass on woodwool render finish...?

    Any ideas?

    We had or house lime rendered (NHL 3.5), with work finished at the end of August. It had to be prevented from drying too quickly, so was hosed down for a couple of weeks after. In the following winter there was no frost damage on the exterior walls of living rooms because the solid walls must have transferred enough heat to prevent freezing. it was a different story for part of a garden wall done at the same time and the base of one wall which had the top of the cellar behind it. Both areas lost patches of the top coat. This might be the one case where having well insulated walls works against you.
