Our Policies

Tuscan Rendering produces and applies traditional rustic, hand trowelled renders that are commonly associated with old Italianate, French provincial and Mediterranean architecture.

As it is our intention to reproduce the richness of colour, patina and soft lines of the Mediterranean in contemporary and rustic render styles, imperfections and surface level variations are intentional. These elements are decorative and an inherent part of creating the required aesthetic character of aged finishes of Old Tuscany, Spain or Morocco.

Tuscan’s render finishes and textures are designed for light weight cladding systems (e.g. polystyrene, fibrocement sheet) and masonry back grounds (e.g. brick, cement block), therefore most of our textures are available in acrylic and sand/cement variations.

Tuscan Rendering’s product ranges provide a foundation for our render & laminate stone finishes however it is our intention to assist our clients in creating unique render coatings for their project. Therefore design variations in texture and colour are possible if requested, while working within the parameters of the background they are applied too.
