Been busy the last few days, taping in preparation for the external wall insulation crew. Now it's a race to stay ahead of them as they chase me round the house.
We are primarily using ProClima Contega Solido Exo tape (black) as the fine fleece facing is suitable to be rendered over. Also Tescon Vana (blue) where not being rendered. The insulation boards are adhered with a continuous spread of adhesive (like render) that effectively becomes the parge coat, and then mechanically fixed. Solido Exo is more flexible and forgiving than Vana, but both are super sticky, especially with Tescon Primer on the fairly rough brickwork. Thinking of buying shares in ProClima.

So the continuous adhesive is considered the air tight layer, correct? How flexible is this to withstand cracking? (I asked this in another post, assumed the parge coat would be sand and cement).
