'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

Probably "Tyrolan finish". There is a special machine with rubber fingers that flicks cement at the wall when a handle is turned.

Tyrolean Finish put on with a special cement "splatter "gun.

There are various acrylic coatings for interior use usually applied with a textured roller, and generally they work ok outside if overpainted

Roughcast. The pebbledash is in the cement.

A decent picture will let us decide which of the rough surfaced finishes it is.

Agreed. 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.

There are plenty of images of roughcast on Google.

Yes, but there are no pictures of the particular bit of rough finish being asked about.

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......."
