A variety of textures can be achieved with stucco depending on the size of aggregates used, the method of application, and the final use of a trowel or float. The textures shown are high-contrast to better illustrate the unique qualities of each finish, and represent the look under direct sunlight. Final effect will vary slightly, depending on the applicator and orientation to sunlight.
DASH FINISH
The dash texture is obtained by throwing mixture onto the surface with a brush. It produces a coarse finish that can be modified with a trowel or float.
Re-stucco most commonly uses the dash finish. |

TROWEL FINISH
There are infinite possibilities for the final texture. Different trowels and techniques produce different results. Shown are the most commonly used by Stephen Donnelly.
As there are many different variations of the trowel finish, the final texture will be determined on the jobsite with the homeowner. |
