The coated surface has a rough, rugged surface which is characteristic of sand finished masonry. The surface has the hardness of silica, is waterproof, decorative, and permanent; with the effect of clayware. The simulated product of the invention is easily and inexpensively constructed. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a wall construction is provided of masonry blocks coated with a cured plastic-sand composition having suitable pigments to produce a sand finished masonry appearance.
