Roughcasting
A traditional textured render technique offering strong protection for properties across Bedford and Bedfordshire.
Built for exposure
Roughcasting is a traditional rendering method where a mix of sand, cement and small stones is applied directly to the wall, creating a coarse, textured finish. It's particularly well suited to properties that take a battering from wind and rain, since the texture and thickness offer genuinely strong weather resistance.
Practical benefits
- Disguises minor wall imperfections rather than highlighting them
- Excellent weather resistance for exposed sites
- Minimal upkeep once applied
- A distinctive, rustic look that suits rural and period properties
A practical, cost-effective choice
Because it's robust and low-maintenance, roughcasting tends to work out cost-effective over the life of the render, even if the initial texture takes some getting used to if you're more familiar with smoother finishes.
