When applied to crépi, I'd call it smoothing, but when it's a concrete type of material and done to expose the aggregate as a decorative finish, I'd call it polishing, in which case, it's done with a power tool. On the other hand, it's rather a vigorous sort of smoothing, as shown in the video.

neutral  mchd: votre vidéo montre du talochage. Avec un simple lissage, le propriétaire sera quitte à refaire son crépi dans deux ans ! Pas vraiment ! ce sont deux opérations distinctes ! Vous n'avez pas gagné votre ticket de maître d'oeuvre chez moi !! Désolée

  -> The point is not that it is being done with a float, but how the float is being used.

disagree  Tony M: But this is not "polishing of sandstone", but more nearly "polishing by using sandstone" — except that it isn't usual to 'polish' crépi!

Cette opération se nomme aussi sablage, le grès n'étant plus guère utilisé et le terme grésage se rencontre dans les immeubles de grand standing ou anciens.

Le sablage de façade est une technique consistant à pulvériser des micro particules à haute pression pour nettoyer ou sculpter une surface. Le sable était auparavant le plus couramment utilisé, mais en raison de la recrudescence de lésions fibrogènes pulmonaires (ou silicoses) causées par les inhalations de poussière de sable, d’autres produits ont dû être préconisés. Tout type de particules est utilisé : coquilles de noix, particules de noix de coco, abrasifs en poudre, grains d’acier, grenaillage de cuivre.

oui, le terme "sanding" convient, comme pour la fonderie !

neutral  B D Finch: You can't polish crepi, so Larousse's definition isn't what is meant here.

  -> oui, il faut bien effectuer un grésage d'abord sur les emplacements où le crépi est prêt à se décrocher !
