Pebble dash removal : Some Tips


Pebble dashing is an external wall stucco method in which pebbles, 1/8 to 1/4 inch in size, are applied to the outside of a wall. The job requires two workers, as one plasters the wall with stucco while the other throws pebbles at the wall. The second worker must throw the pebbles at the wall with sufficient force and skill that they become lodged in the stucco. Over time, the pebble dashing begins to chip. It is advisable to remove damaged pebble dash to prevent inclement weather from damaging underlying walls.

Pebble dash removal  is like assembling along seamless beach-stones fastidiously sorted and then mounted onto a seamless mesh backed tile. There’s a motivating purpose concerning the origin of those stones - most of them are collected from numerous S.E. Asian islands. This can be a wonderful answer if you intend on redecorating within the following areas: Kitchen walls, bogs & showers, flooring, counter tops, patio floors, swimming pools & fireplaces.

·         Get construction specialists to inspect the wall prior to removing the pebble dashing. The pebble dash may be covering up an inferior wall construction. Ensure that it is safe to remove the stucco before proceeding.
·         Don the work gloves and eye protection. Remove as much of the pebble dashing as you can by hand. Start at the edge of the damaged area or at the edge of the wall. Hold the chisel at a 45-degree angle.
·         Hit the back of the chisel with the hammer until the stucco begins to chip off. Continue to chisel until you get all the way through the stucco to the wall beneath.
·         Remove the last remnants of the pebble dash with a high-pressure hose or wire brush.
