A method of forming a visible flexible facing layer for altering or creating the appearance of an exterior wall of a building, the method comprising the steps of:
- a] providing an absorbent flexible facing substrate on a support;
- b] creating a wet mixture using a powdered aggregate being at least in part solid material and mixed with a polymeric binding agent;
- c] applying the wet mixture to the flexible facing substrate;
- and d] by applying heat and air to maintain porosity and flexibility, curing the wet mixture in a tiled brick- or stone-work effect to form the flexible facing layer.
