The term "Tyrolean" originates from the Tyrol region in the Alps, with historical roots, it was originally a practical solution to protect buildings from weather while providing an aesthetically pleasing finish.

The finish has typically been created with sand cement, though with the ever-evolving range of products available, it is possible to create using an acrylic render system.
