Tyrolean Applicator

Description

Also known as a Tyrol Gun or Tyrolean Applicator. A Tyrolean finish can be made in a variety of colours and is designed to give a weathered uneven look (often pebbled) texture to a wall. Unlike plaster or cement finishes, this type of finish resists cracking and helps to protect the wall from rain and snow and also provides some insulation. A Tyrolean finish is produced by spraying or throwing the render against the wall with the help of a Tyrolean Flicker gun. A variety of textures and patterns are possible depending on how the flicker is used, and the finish can also be sanded down resulting in a "rubbed Tyrolean finish," similar to a knock-down ceiling texture.
