To try and answer your question Carina, it looks like they use the word
ârenderâ to mean interior undercoat, before a top or finish coat of plaster is
applied. In this case, an undercoat of plaster was not applied first, which is
why the total thickness of applied plaster was quite thin. As I said in my first
post , sometimes an interior undercoat is called a ârenderâ, possibly because
quite often the undercoat would be cement/lime based, like an exterior render,
and then finished with a gypsum plaster top coat.

Subject: Re: [Strawbale] Air tightness and earth
plastering Hallo, If render
and plaster is he same, than what is meant with the problem of the air tightness
in the passive house. There was said that the air tightness was not so good
because of the failing render but then earth plaster was on
it! Greetings, Carina Von:

Im Auftrag von Andrew
Morrison As far as I know, they are
the same. Here in the United States we say plaster. When I was in Australia
teaching last month, they spoke of render. I don't know of a
difference. 2011/4/21 Carina Simons <carina.simons@gmx...> Hallo to
everybody, Since I am
not a native English speaker I do not know the differents between a render and a
plaster. Can anyone explain that to me? Many
greetings, Carina Von: strawbale-bounces@amper....muni.cz [mailto:strawbale-bounces@amper....muni.cz] Im Auftrag von Sebastien Hubert Hello everybody,
