Blocking up a doorway?

I want to block up a external glass door. I've blocked up the inside with plasterboard and decorated over it so that is fine. Now I need to do the outside. It needs to be rendered to match the rest of the house, can I just put external ply and render over it or do I need to fill it with blocks?

Ok, this may sound odd, but have you removed the door and frame?
I ask this because, if you have plaster boarded it, what did you fix the plasterboard to?
If the door and frame are still in place, I would guess that this is maybe a temporary measure and you one day expect to re-use the doorway. In which case, I would go with the external ply option with ex-met mesh, (specially used for rendering, don't use weldmesh whatever you do, it will rust!), fixed to the ply with suitable galvenised fixings. If the fixings are not galvenised or at least corrosion resistant then they will rust and you will be left with orange patches in the render, or even worse, the actual render coming away from the rusty fixings.
Now, if the door and frame have been removed, the correct way to block the opening would be to use blocks tied to the existing reveal, (a mix of 5 parts sand to 1 part cement would normally be suitable, with a couple of egg cups of febmix. layed on a damp proof course to stop the damp rising from the floor below,(very important). Install 2 Wall ties on every course of blocks tieing the two walls together, (about 200mm from each reveal).
Fit insulation into the cavity as you build the two walls, cavities do vary, so you will need to get the correct size for your particular wall.
Once the blockwork has gone off, you can then render the outside knowing it will be watertight and secure.
The inside could then be rendered and skimmed or if you prefer, you can stick plasterboard to the blocks with drywall adhesive, and then skim the wall as you would any other plasterboard.
I hope this helps.
Good luck! Wellzee!

Hemorrhoid Treatment- How To Eliminate The Pain And Embarrassment In 48 Hours!

All victims of hemorrhoids desire the kind of treatment that can give them quick relief from the very distressing symptoms of hemorrhoids. Bleeding during defecation which usually shows up as bright red blood stains on the underwear or as streaks of blood on the surface of the stools is usually the first sign of piles especially if the pile is an internal one. This is normally a sign that an internal pile has been grazed during defecation. (If you notice this sign and are unsure whether you have piles you should visit your doctor for confirmation). External piles will show up with pain in the butt and sometimes itching in the butt. {Click Here For more information on the symptoms of piles }

 

It is often at this stage that people will try various over the counter treatments for piles, none of which seem to give any lasting relief. If you have piles, you would have probably tried various over the counter medication which have not been effective and have failed to give you the everlasting solution that you desire, and you are still desperately searching for a way to be free of this horrible, embarrassing condition as quickly as possible and for it to become a distant memory! {Click hereTo be free permanently from the embarrassment of hemorrhoids as quickly as possible }

 

Unless you treat the Hemorrhoid with a holistic method that will address the problem by treating the root causes of hemorrhoids, you will probably experience a reoccurrence of the symptoms of the disease. The use of good natural products that offer a total healing package is the best option in this regard as they heal the hemorrhoid naturally without causing any additional stress to the sufferer and they attack the root problems. The use of surgery as last resort is not very encouraging because surgery itself can be a very distressful experience and it does not guaranty total success. {Click here to get the best holistic natural treatment for hemorrhoids}
