Yes you can apply pebble dash to a TF building, using Knauf Aquapanel Exterior - BUT - As Owls has stated above, you need to ensure you use a suitable modern basecoat and mesh, then preferably a modern lightweight dash receiver. Adding a lot of weight to a timber frame means that it will shrink faster, and potentially more, thus the risk of cracking is much higher.
Modern flexible basecoats, mesh and dash receivers are lighter than S&C, and more flexible. Therefore they restrict excessive and early settlement of the TF and are less likely to shrink
You can install up to 40 kg/m2 of finish onto Aquapanel Exterior, with the frame behind at 600mm ctrs (higher if the framework behind is closer and designed to suit), but we would always advise that the finish is suitably specified and flexible enough to suit the application.
Get in touch for more assistance, if needed.
Rich
