External RenderThe aerated blocks again use a specific product for the external render. It is a ready mix cement skim coat type product. It is easy to work and makes for a smooth and nice render finish. The final thickness of the walls will be 12.5 centimeters so this is being applied about 2.5 centimeters on each side. dozer00000
