COATINGS FOR WALL SURFACES

摘要

A method of applying to an upstanding wall a surface coating, comprises the sequential steps of placing on to a cement rendering on a wall surface a twin-walled open-sided grid (1) to create in the rendering a pattern representative of the peripheries of a plurality of adjoining bricks, stones, flints or the like, projecting on to the rendered wall surface with the grid (1) in place a particulate material with sufficient force to cause the particles to become embedded in or adhere to the render, and removing the grid (1) from the wall surface, the upstanding twin-walls of the grid (1) being inclined to the vertical and diverging to define a taper to assist removal of the grid (1) from the coated wall surface.
