Pebbledashing
Pebbledashing is an old and established trade that was prevelant in Scotland in the 17th century, it was not known as pebbledashing but as 'Harlin'. Pebbledashing examples can be seen on this page.
This property was stripped back of all defective render and backing coat.
The original dash and render dated back to the 1930s so it had proved itself in regards to durability.
The house was coated with a special polymer render and a dash receiver with a colour matched backing coat. The aggregate used was Beige Quartz
Although not a listed building this fine period property is in an area of outstanding beauty, as such planning had to be approved before any exterior works could commence.
Due to the solid wall construction and high level of damp a hydraulic lime render was specified.
The use of crushed white marble aggregate chippings cast into the final render coat has provided the house with an antique white finish in keeping with the period of the property
Although we now have some good modern OPC renders they do not have the breathability of lime renders, roughcast or dashing of this type goes back centuries, applied correctly, it will last in excess of 100 years, we have seen original roughcast on houses dating back to the Georgian period.
Requiring no painting, Dashing or Harlin as it is known is Scotland, is extremely hard wearing and truly breathable.
Not to be confused with effects used on pre-cast garages etc. W2W have some beautiful aggregates including, crushed marbles, black basalt shell, buff, quartz etc see our suppliers http://www.derbyshireaggregates.com
Once the property was brought back to a good base, it was prepared to receive an application of crushed quartz aggregate and further embellished with natural stone corner quoins
Pebble dashing as most people know it, is also known as dry dash. Cement or lime based render coats are applied to the wall and pebbles, shingle even shells are thrown or cast into the wet render. with roughcast the materials are mixed into a slurry and are then thrown at the working surface with a trowel or scoop. The idea is to maintain an even spread, free from lumps, ridges or runs and without missing any background.
