Its terrible. dont let the sales man tell you Monocouche is better than sand and cement or dash.

we built a load of apartment blocks and finished them in the stuff. Its messy. its also hard to get lads that care about its application . If it get damaged or cracks it is nearly impossible to repair correctly.

they also says it repels water. I could show you pics to prove different. It holds water and algee forms turning some north walls black and green.

I would stay well away from the stuff.

Agree, i'd go so far as to say it isn't really suitable for the general Irish Climate,

the same way some bricks are not.

Dont know much about it to be honest. Seen it done in America, but id prefer a skimcoat finish.. like sticking with what i know.

I don't know much about it internally either, sorry i assumed you meant outside rendering,

As above poster said, i'd stick with skimcoat as it is what i know.

Any chance of seeing some of those pics. Was it your own batching, or was it delivered mixed.
