Dry dash A treatment used to finish the walls of modern buildings, in which a layer of cement render is applied to the surface. While it is still wet, crushed marble or white limestone is thrown (dashed) on to it, so that the chips are partly embedded in the render. It is not a suitable treatment for an historic building.
