What is Concretta?
Concretta is a thin-layer mineral surface system developed to create a continuous architectural language across floors, walls, stairs and fixed surfaces. With appropriate substrate preparation, it can be used on new surfaces or as part of a renovation strategy over suitable existing finishes.
Where can Concretta be used?
The system can be specified for floors and walls in homes, retail spaces, restaurants, offices and other interiors. Where project conditions allow, stairs, fixed furniture and selected exterior surfaces can also be developed within the same material language.
What defines the surface character?
Rather than looking like a uniform printed finish, Concretta develops its character through application. Trowel movement, tonal variation, light and the scale of the surface all influence the final perception. Colour selection, samples, lighting conditions and application direction should therefore be considered together.
What should be evaluated before application?
A successful specification depends on more than the final appearance. The existing substrate and the way the space will be used should be considered together. Key project information includes:
How should colour and texture be selected?
Colour is perceived together with surface texture, natural and artificial light, surrounding materials and application technique. Reviewing a physical sample in the context of the project is therefore more reliable than selecting from a digital colour image alone.
What does a Concretta surface look like?
Subtle tonal variation and application marks are part of Concretta’s surface character. As the light changes, the texture and perceived depth of the finish can change as well. On larger areas the result can read as calm and continuous, while smaller details can reveal more of the material character.
To define the right surface, colour and application approach for a project, the use of the space, existing substrate and desired visual effect should be evaluated together.
