Concrete look walls without the concrete
This is a layered trowel finish, so the risk is in the joins. A wall left to dry halfway through shows a hard edge where the next section starts, which is why a wall gets finished in one go rather than picked up the next morning. The substrate has to be flat first, because texture applied over a wavy wall exaggerates it. Depth comes from working the layers back at the right moment, and that window is short, which is the real skill in it.

Our concrete effect painting process
- 01
Flatten the substrate
Texture applied over a wavy wall exaggerates it, so the wall is made flat before any of the finish goes on.
- 02
Finish a wall in one go
A wall left half done shows a hard edge where the next section picks up, so a wall is started and finished in the same session.
- 03
Work the layers back
Depth comes from working the layers back at the right moment, and that window is short. It is the part that takes the skill.
Concrete effect painting questions
- What is concrete effect painting?
- It is a decorative painting technique that replicates the look of polished or raw concrete on standard plasterboard or rendered walls. The result is a modern, industrial aesthetic without the weight or cost of real concrete.
- Where does concrete effect work best?
- It is most popular as a feature wall in living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms. It also works well on fireplace surrounds, kitchen splashbacks and commercial spaces wanting an industrial edge.
- Can you control the colour and texture?
- Absolutely. We can create anything from a light dove grey with smooth polish to a dark charcoal with raw, open texture. We work with you to get the exact look you want.
