Pebbledash rendering

Pebbledash rendering and replacement is something that can be carried out with the minimum of fuss by the never paint again exterior wall coatings installation teams across the UK.

Pebble dash is not to everyone’s taste and like it or loath it, it doesn’t last for ever and at some time and if your house is plastered in pebbledash, it is going to need to be re-done, but do you REALLY WANT that awful stuff covering your home?

If you’re not too sure, please can we have 5 minutes of your time to read this and then see what you think…………

What’s wrong with pebbledash?

Pebbledash, as an exterior wall coating, only has a finite lifespan so when the outside walls of your house look tired, with missing stones, cracks, hollow render and bald areas of pebbles, now is the time to consider getting it spruced up perhaps?

BBC reports Ancient paint factory unearthed

Posted on: October 14th, 2011

By Jonathan Amos Science correspondent, BBC News

Blombos Cave (Magnus Haaland) Blombos Cave is an archaeological site with significant information about the behaviour of our ancestors

The kits used by humans 100,000 years ago to make paint have been found at the famous archaeological site of Blombos Cave in South Africa.

The hoard includes red and yellow pigments, shell containers, and the grinding cobbles and bone spatulas to work up a paste – everything an ancient artist might need in their workshop.

This extraordinary discovery is reported in the journal Science.

It is proof, say researchers, of our early ancestors’ complexity of thought.

“This is significant because it is pushing back the boundaries of our understanding of when Homo sapiens – people like us – first became modern,” said Prof Christopher Henshilwood from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

“These finds indicate that humans were certainly thinking in a modern way, in a way that is cognitively advanced, at least 100,000 years ago,” he told BBC News.

Prof Henshilwood shows what was found and how the tools were used

Blombos Cave on the southern Cape Coast, 300km east of Cape Town, has been giving up remarkable archaeological treasures for more than 20 years.

Scientists have been scraping down through its sandy sediments to find all manner of artefacts left by the Middle Stone Age people who occupied the limestone cavity.

In 2002, researchers described 70,000-year-old blocks of ochre. This soft stone contains iron oxides that can be used as a pigment, or colouring agent. (more…)
