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 slaked haired lime render was specified.
The use of crushed white marble aggregate chippings cast into the final “butter 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 have yet to prove themselves, however dashing of this type goes back centuries, applied correctly such as the BRose method, it will last in excess of 100 years.

Requiring no painting, Dashing or ‘Harlin’ as it is known is Scotland, is extremely hard wearing and truly breathable.

Please do not associate traditional pebbledash with the effect used on pre-cast garages etc. We have some beautiful aggregates including, crushed marbles, black basalt shell, buff, quartz etc see our suppliers http://www.derbyshireaggregates.com
