Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0589673A2] This invention relates to a method for facing a surface such as a wall, and tooling for such facing. Tooling comprises a number of cavities (19A, 19B, 19C) each comprising four blades corresponding to different brick sizes. Six lines (30 to 35) of interconnected cavities are attached to a cross beam (36). Adjacent cavities and lines are spaced from one another by a dimension A. Unset settable building material is mixed with appropriate colouring and waterproofing agent and is applied to a wall of form an outer layer. The surface thereof is sponged to produce a brick like surface relief. The tooling is pressed into the outer layer to impress a pattern resembling brickwork. Unset material is sucked from the joint line space between adjacent cavities and the layer is allowed to set. Then, mortar is added to the joint line. Once the mortar has set, the final outer layer has a true brick finish that resembles a real brick wall. The unset settable material can be applied to damaged or wood walls so that a true brick finish can be given to a wall in a quick, simple and cost effective manner. <IMAGE>
