How to achieve a fine scraped texture finish onto masonry

weberpral monocouche scraped system

The weberpral monocouche fine scraped system is suitable for application directly onto various types of masonry including brickwork, blockwork, and concrete.

Do you need a preparatory key/stipple coat?

Monocouche is a through-coloured, one coat render which is suitable for application onto various types of masonry including brickwork, blockwork, and concrete.

Renders are not adhesives and therefore require a substrate with good suction and key to ensure good adhesion. If you are applying onto either of the following, further considerations apply:

• Brickwork without recessed mortar joints
• Concrete

In these circumstances, application of a stipple coat — also known as a key coat — such as weberend aid is required. Use our guide on rendering onto surfaces with poor key to learn how to do this. Once suitable key has been achieved, it is possible to apply a Monocouche render such as weberpral MF and finish with a fine scraped texture. Application tutorials can be found on the product page.

By using a tooth scraper, a traditional scraped finish can be achieved using weberpral M, our through-coloured, one-coat render which is ready-mixed, cementitious and weather resistant. Resistant to algae, our monocouche renders are suitable for most types of brick or blockwork.

How it's done

Once monocouche render has been applied, use a toothed scraper in a circular motion to achieve the desired scraped texture. Watch the video tutorial to see how it's done.
