Roughcasting Services
Roughcasting or harling, (also called ‘wet-dash’ in parts of England) is a type of surface application used on external buildings, outhouses and walls.
There are many benefits of roughcasting. Compared to other types of finishes, roughcasting is a particularly useful method to use to protect walls in exposed areas, against the elements. Roughcasting acts as a protective coating, keeping moisture from penetrating the inner brick-work of your property
Another advance owing to this property is that moisture will not penetrate the exterior coat, keeping the inner brick layer safe from the elements
Roughcasting can produce an aesthetically pleasing finish while also providing protection against harsh elements.
Typically, professionally-applied roughcasting lasts well and is very low-maintenance.
However, this depends on a number of factors, the most important of which is the quality and application of the roughcasting mixture.
One unique advantage of Roughcasting is that it has the ability to expand and contract based on the temperature. This enhances longevity reduces the risk of cracks appearing.
We offer full-service exterior rendering.
Our exterior renders have a long life span and are available in a wide variety of textures and colours which can be applied to various surfaces including pebbledash roughcast, brickwork, and cement rendering.
Pebble dashing is a 2 coat rendering system, using sand and cement or polymer render. It can be used on most backgrounds and is durable, with a huge choice of colours.
A layer of render coat can immediately brighten up shabby looking walls. Adding a layer of render will transform the look of your property and give it a smooth finish.
Why use Roughcasting?
The aggregate embedded in the through-coloured render background makes it very hard wearing and resistant to Scottish weather. It will neither change nor fade as all the elements are naturally coloured.
