'Mock' pebble dash?
We have some bits of wall which are a mixture of a rough finish and flat
render. The rough finish seems to be more like a very rough gritty paint than a pebble dash. The edges are quite sharp, and there are raise peaks, but no large grains in the finish. Has anyone come across this, and knows what the wall treatment might be? Cheers Dave R |

There is a special machine with rubber fingers that flicks cement at the wall when a handle is turned. http://www.supaprice.co.uk/p/result....+finish+render |

The pebbledash is in the cement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughcast |

Common on back (brick) walls of stone fronted Victorian terraces in many UK cities (e.g. Bristol). Sounds like Tyrolean to me too. Not sure if it was original. |

Though the OP could always look at pictures to see what matched, it would be quicker for the experts on here to look at his and then say "Oh, yes, it's......." -- Tciao for Now! John. |
