render

[russells]

hi
i have recently got a job to render a house over the existing brickwork, which is fine my problem is the front of the house is already rendered and they want me to match the same as the front.
it is sand and cement as usual but has a stipple effect going into to the render i was hoping that some one out there might no what tool i would need to do this .
thanks rus:RpS_thumbup::RpS_thumbup:

Sponge float ? Is it a nap finish, a plastic float will create this

nap finish comes out of the render ? this has holes going into the render ????

stipple finish, it is done with a brush. but there are several different patterns. the more recent ones are just patted using a grass brush , there is an inverted stipple where a plasterers block brush is used.
stipple finish is a easy quick finish to render. add a waterproofer to scratchcoat as it is best with low suction.
