Our team of Glasgow roughcasters are happy to answer any of your questions and will talk you through the whole process.

Roughcasting is a type of exterior finishing method where small pebbles or gravel are mixed into the concrete or plaster and applied as a finish to the external wall. This dries to form a durable and rough finish that requires less maintenance. The roughcasting materials include sand, cement, pebbles, shells plaster, and lime. You can create a new eye-catchy style by:

• Using tiny seashells in place of sand.

• The sand or gravel is tinted or colour additives used to create a certain colour.

Roughcast can be used to conceal poor workmanship. Throwing the roughcast is a durable and a better mode of application compared to troweling. This is because, with throwing, the roughcast impacts the wall with force causing better compaction and adherence to the wall.

Roughcasting protects your home against the harsh weather conditions of Scotland while enhancing aesthetic value, requires low maintenance and is highly durable.
