Finishing the boards with natural renders

The boards must be topped off with natural Lime based renders or earthen based renders

Fixing of boards to masonry walls (Brief overview)

The masonry portion of the wall and the back of the boards are lined with an adhesive mortar. The board is then pressed into place against the wall. 

The boards are then secured into place by using  specially designed masonry screws which we supply.
