The term pebble-dashing is often associated with the application of small stones that are seemingly stuck to a render on the outside of properties.

Pebbledash is the modern version of a rendering process that dates from Roman times: a mixture of quicklime and sand, thrown at external walls to give a stippled effect

The functions provided by a pebble dash finish include:

• Improved water shedding properties
• Gives good impact resistance
• Provides a low maintenance decorative finish
• Protects the substrate
