As the name suggests it is a rough aggregate mixture which can include cement, lime, gravel, sand, and shells. There are different mixtures with a variety of materials being used and different tints can be applied. The mixture is ‘thrown’ against the surface before being worked into place and is extremely durable.
Is Roughcast The Same as Pebbledash?
No, it isn’t quite the same as pebbledash. Both techniques are external renders and use more or less the same materials but they differ because roughcast includes stones in its mix. With pebbledash however, the aggregate is added after the render has been applied to the wall. Roughcast is also slightly softer than pebbledash.

What Are The Benefits of Applying Roughcast To Your Property in Falkirk
Although an external render can be used as a decorative feature the application of roughcast, though it looks attractive, has a much more practical purpose.
It provides a tough weather resistant covering which provides great protection against the worst of the Scottish weather. It is waterproof, very resilient and hardwearing. It will last for over 20 years, doesn’t require any maintenance and won’t fade over time.
Roughcast also adds a layer of insulation to a building making it much more energy efficient by preventing the escape of heat saving the householder or business owner money on energy bills.
Whether you are building an extension and need to match the existing roughcast on the house, have purchased a building which doesn’t have roughcast or need an existing surface repaired, we have a team of expert craftsmen who can help.
