Textured finish on cement boards

[Rustic phil]

Hi folks, I’m new on here and doing an extension on my own place. I’m a chippy but dabble a bit in other trades. It’s a timber frame with cement board externally and wondered what to use on it. Would like a coloured render with a slight textured finish. Any advice from you professionals please.

If you want someone to assist with how to do the batten framework and boarding... feel free to get in touch and send some drawings and details through for me to review and assist

good luck

use knauf aqua panel boards. for a texture finish use an acrylic 1.5 grit gives the best finish. others are to smooth

I’ve already boarded it with 12mm fire rated magply. Just wondered if anyone had views on which type/ brand of render to use. Is the acrylic 1.5 grit left some time and scratched up later?
Cheers
