The Latest Decoration Trend: Concrete Finishes
Concrete finishing systems have begun to dominate the world of decoration. In this article we will look at this type of concrete finish, where and how it is used, and the advantages it offers.
In recent years, concrete finishes have become extremely popular in the world of decoration. Yet they may not have reached their peak. Decoration and interior-design professionals expect the product to become even more widely preferred in the years ahead.
We can describe this type of concrete finish as strong, versatile and full of character, and these are only some of the qualities that make concrete finishing systems so appealing. Of course, decoration is ultimately a matter of taste, so some people may still wonder why concrete-look finishes have become so popular.
In today’s article we will discuss the concrete-look trend making waves in decoration, its advantages and the ways you can use it.
Concrete finishes are like a blank canvas on which you can express your creativity.
What Is a Concrete Finish?
Thanks to its strength, character, versatility and relatively low cost, it is a construction material that has become highly popular in the world of interior design.
It is a surface-finishing material made from a combination of polymers and colour pigments.
Because of this composition, it can be applied over almost any surface: cement concrete, stone, timber, paving stone, metal, marble, plastic, cement and more.
One of its most notable characteristics is its ability to adhere easily to many different surfaces.
It is also not designed only for floors. You can just as easily encounter walls finished with Concretta.
Another of its strongest qualities is its distinctive character and its compatibility with contemporary, modern and minimalist styles.
More importantly, when paired with traditional materials such as timber or glass, or natural fibres such as wicker and rattan, it can create a pleasing balance in a space.
The Advantages of Using Concrete Finishes...
Concrete finishes offer many advantages, but we would especially like to highlight the following:
First, as mentioned above, this versatile material can be used on both walls and floors. Its distinctive appearance gives a room a strong design identity. And because it creates a continuous surface rather than a tiled one, it is also very easy to clean and maintain.
Because it is waterproof and slip-resistant, it can also be a very safe surface.
Another advantage is how easy it is to install. At only 2–3 millimetres thick, it has minimal impact on the existing construction. In addition, you do not necessarily need to remove the existing floor before applying Concretta.
Where Should Concrete Finishes Be Used?
Because they are easy to apply, concrete finishes can be used on both walls and floors.
They give a room an industrial atmosphere. It is important, however, to pair the material with the right accessories; otherwise the space can feel cold or uninviting.
In the world of decoration, for example, concrete finishes are often paired with tropical styles. The appeal comes from the contrast between concrete and vivid greens, yellows and pinks.
One of the most popular places to use a concrete finish is the bathroom.
Because it is a waterproof material, it can help prevent moisture-related problems in bathroom surfaces.
This innovative material offers a wide range of decorative possibilities.
Although it has a raw and unfinished character, it can still bring a natural and organic atmosphere to a room.
Its continuous, smooth and joint-free surface also offers a major advantage when it comes to cleaning.
Because Concretta Concrete Finish is a strong and durable material, it can preserve its structure for many years.
