German term or phrase: Kellenwurf
"....ermöglicht die vielfältigsten Beschichtungs- und Strukturvariationen; von sehr glatten Oberflächen bis zum groben Kellenwurf."

So far I have "highly-textured sufrace", "stippled surface", "rilled surface".... Thanks in advance.

rough finish
Explanation:
rough finish or rough surface
Also: rough trowel(ed) finish, or ...texture.

This context seems to focus on the finished look of the surface which ranges from 'very smooth' e.g Filzputz, to 'rough troweled' e.g. grober Kratzputz.

disagree  Steffen Walter: Nothing in the context suggests that "Kellenspritzputz" might be meant. A "grober Kellenwurf" (see above) is just the opposite of a machine-applied plaster./Gibt es Belege für diese Behauptung? Ist mir in 10 Jahren Übersetzung im Bauwesen nicht begegnet.

  -> "Grober Kellenwurf" wird im Bauwesen NUR maschinenweise erfuellt! Es ist eine andere Sache, dass hier "Kellenwurf" ein bishen abstrakt erwaehnt ist. Diese Nuance ist leider Ihnen entgangen.
