How to achieve a scraped/scratched texture finish onto masonry

weberpral monocouche scraped system

The weberpral monocouche 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?

Renders are not adhesives and therefore require a substrate with good suction and key to ensure good adhesion. If you are applying onto either brickwork without recessed mortar joints or concrete 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 M (or weberpral D in Ireland) and finish with a scraped texture. Application tutorials can be found on the relevant product pages.

See 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:

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.
