Tyrolean and Alpine Finish
Tyrolean and Alpine Finish
Both these finishes are
applied onto a render
surface
Tyrolean Finishes
If applying directly to existing
brickwork /blockwork / render
surface, the substrate must
be brushed down to remove
any friable material, algae or
lichen and fungicidal wash
should then be applied.
Tyrolean Finishes
Any ridges or protrusions
should be removed and
hollows filled to provide a
smooth surface
Stabilising solution may be
applied if required to help
improve adhesion and offer
uniform suction.
