About dry dash
In dry dash roughcasting, dry chip is applied onto freshly laid wet render so it embeds into the surface. This traditional Fife technique produces a slightly different texture and appearance to wet dash and remains a popular choice for period and traditional properties.
Signs you need this
Dry dash is often chosen to match an existing traditional finish on older or period properties, or where a specific traditional aggregate look is wanted for new roughcast work.
Options
Dry dash is available in a range of natural and coloured aggregate chips, and we can advise on which chip size and colour will suit the property.
