Concrete TextureIndustrial concrete read — without the slab.
An applied concrete-look finish — the read of board-formed or raked concrete, on a 4–6 mm cementitious build. Indistinguishable from poured concrete under most lighting; orders of magnitude lighter, faster to install, more controllable in colour.

Why people choose it
What makes it stand apart.
01
Board-formed read
Real timber-board impressions or sand-blasted raking patterns — your choice from a sample set.
02
Tunable colour
Pigmented to look like dry industrial concrete, weathered shutter concrete, or warm earth-toned cement.
03
Goes anywhere
Drywall, masonry, ply — even existing painted walls with sufficient prep.

A controlled, on-site sequence — each stage signed off before the next begins.
- 01
Prep & key
Wall ground or scored for adhesion, primed with a bonding primer.

First build
Trowelled to 3–4 mm, allowed to set. Board impressions taken if you've chosen a board-formed read.
- 03
Second build
Final 2 mm trowel coat, pigmented to your colour, finished by trowel or sponge for texture.
- 04
Wash & age
Lime washes layered to imitate the cast-shutter staining of real poured concrete.
