Brick Effect Render - Render That Looks Like Brickwork

Brick effect render is a technique used in building construction and design that allows surfaces to mimic the aesthetic of traditional brickwork without using actual bricks. This is typically achieved by applying render, a type of plaster, onto a surface resembling the brick-and-mortar pattern.
The process often involves the application of a base coat of render, then carving out brick patterns before it fully dries, and then applying a different coloured render into the carved lines to imitate mortar. Once the render has dried, it provides a convincing illusion of a brick wall.
This technique is advantageous for several reasons. Firstly, it can be used to provide a brickwork aesthetic to structures that are not made from brick. Secondly, it can be a cost-effective alternative to actual brickwork, as it requires less materials and labour. Lastly, it can be applied to many surfaces, including those that wouldn't typically be suitable for traditional brickwork.
While brick effect render can provide an attractive and versatile alternative to brickwork, it's important to note that the level of realism achieved can vary greatly based on the skill of the person applying the render. Therefore, it is crucial to hire an experienced professional to ensure a high-quality finish.

Used a similar technique years ago, but tape was applied in a brick pattern before the top coat plaster was applied. This top coat was red-brick coloured plaster, about 1cm thick. The tape was peeled off before top coat had a chance to dry, producing a very realistic brick wall effect. This came as a kit with a sandy base paint, coloured plaster and all the tape. I've never been able to find this again.
