Texture: Stippled, rilled, seamless or bespoke patterns and techniques
Available in grain sizes from 1– 6mm, from smooth to extremely rough.

Technical considerations: Available with mineral, silicone and acrylic resin based binders as well as with Lotus effect technology each with its own technical advantages.

Meet the Architect: Sir Peter Cook on ECOLA and innovative uses of render and plaster
