Hi all, a bit of advice please
Just fitted a roller shutter door to my garage. Its fitted on the inside face of the blockwork. Removed the wooden doors and frame and am left with an untidy reveal. Front of house is rendered so I plan to render to suit. Fairly happy with undertaking this small amount myself and am ok in principle with how I am going to do it on the verticals. However the soffit is two steel beams adjacent to each other.
What is the best way of getting a rendered finish to these. I doubt I can render direct to it? Will I have to fix render board to it somehow and then render onto that. If so how do I best fix it. Or is there another way?
I did wonder whether I could just fit a drip bead above the opening, render into that and maybe just paint the steel directly?
Any advice appreciated. Cheers
