google insect mesh. it comes in various rolls upto 1m wide by 50m long.
aquapanel exterior. click the link on @Runswithscissors post where you will find info.
the topcoat is what i can describe as a silicone coloured paint with a 1.5mm aggregate which will give you the pattern
Paint delaminates needs maintaining re painting every year looks shite and is an ongoing cost!
Silicone coloured top coat is weatherproof anti cracking flexible and needs no maintaining, can be gently hosed down to clean, though you can still paint if you really desire if you ever want to change the colour further down the line!
The next most important step is to get a good renderer that is good at thin coat work!

It's a very good system, but "needs no maintaining" just isn't true. I have yet to see any render that hasn't started to look shabby in 5-10 years. So whilst it requires less frequent attention still needs freshening.
There isn't an exterior finish, cladding, or building material that maintains it's look beyond 5-10 years. Pollution, exposure to the elements and UV all take their toll.
Don't confuse 1.5mm silicone top coats to mono totally different animal.
Mono IMO isn't suitable for our climate!
Silicone can be hosed clean, but yep totally get your point tbh I think all render is shite compared to stone or brick!
Its just a necessary evil to cover crap building practices IMO!

Very good people on here.
I now have the section sketch below, can someone kindly confirm if I have this correctly outlined ?
Cant see the sketch mate ? Sound advice off the lads too.

i would replace the riblath with 12mm render carrierboard and thincoat system
Thanks for this, I am considering it. Please do confirm that the sketch is correct.
Also, on the render carrierboard can one render it rather than thincoat ? I just like the flexibility of paint.

the buildup looks correct.
i wouldnt put anything else other than a thincoat system.
you can get the topcoat tinted to a colour of your choice...

If you have to do it that way then the render scratch will be at least 30mm thick with the mesh fixed over the 25mm batton , you know timber moves so cracking may happen.
But iff going that way i would mesh the ply then nail thinner slater batton over then mesh over that. Then sbr through all before scratch coating . But no guarantee it wont crack with timber moving .
Thin coat over render carrier board as mentioned would be less chance of cracking , but wood moves.

I wouldn't use WBP, the only difference between that and 'normal' ply is the adhesive used between the laminate layers. Because it uses thin layers of wood it's still prone to movement as @Smudger1 says.
A much better alternative is exterior grade OSB (Oriented Strand Board). Because it's made using a technique similar to fibreglass, where the wood is held together using resin rather than glue it's has way better dimensional stability than plywood.
