Textured walls instead of stone cladding

General principles

Question

Textured walls instead of stone cladding

Some walls with a slightly rough, cheap, easy-to-recolour texture - instead of stone cladding (interior walls, exterior walls, yard walls). Where should this be done? Is it OK to waterproof and then apply textured / rough paint directly on the wall - the owner heard that no skim coat is needed and paint can go straight onto concrete? What are the pros and cons?

Suggestion

Exterior paint: textured paint or rough paint.

  • Yard walls clad in stone; interior walls clad in stone for an accent (optional) - or replaced with rough paint, ask the architect.
