Machine-thrown textured render applied with a Tyrolean machine — distinctive stippled or spattered finish common on 1960s–80s properties. Compare up to 3 free quotes from vetted local tradespeople within 24 hours.
Tyrolean rendering produces a characteristic stippled or spattered texture using a hand-operated machine (a Tyrolean gun or projector) that throws a cementitious render mix against the wall surface. Multiple light passes build up a fairly even but naturally varied texture. The finish is sometimes described as "sprayed" or "spatter-dash" and was particularly popular on British and Irish homes built in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.
Tyrolean render is typically applied over a sand-and-cement base coat. The texture varies depending on how thick the mix is, how fast the machine is cranked, and how many passes are applied. It is almost always painted, and is commonly seen in shades of cream, white, or sandstone.
