Concrete Finish
Our Concrete Finish captures the raw, structural essence of industrial architecture while offering the versatility of an artisanal plaster. Unlike heavy, cast-in-place concrete, this finish is hand-applied to your existing walls, providing a sophisticated urban edge without the structural weight or drying time of the real material. At Simple Venetian Plaster, we replicate the nuances of raw cement, complete with intentional pitting, tonal shifts, and the subtle "imperfections" that define the modern industrial aesthetic.

The Aesthetics of Raw Infrastructure
The allure of concrete lies in its strength. Our artisans use specialized trowel techniques to create "form-poured" effects, mimicking the lines left by timber shuttering or the smooth, slightly mottled surface of polished cement. By controlling the level of pitting and aggregate exposure, we can customize the "intensity" of the finish, ranging from a sleek, contemporary grey to a rugged, weathered texture that feels like it has been part of the building’s foundation for decades.
Lightweight Versatility
One of the greatest advantages of concrete plaster is its ability to be applied where real concrete cannot go. Because it is applied in thin, high-performance layers, we can wrap columns, cover expansive drywall sections, and even apply the finish to ceilings. This allows for a total "monolithic" look, creating a sense of permanence and architectural gravity in residential or commercial spaces that were not originally designed to support the weight of heavy masonry.
A Tailored Industrial Palette
Not all concrete is the same. Our Concrete Finish is available in a wide spectrum of "Grey" tones, from the cool, blue-tinted hues of a foggy morning to the warm, sandy greys of sun-bleached stone. Because we hand-mix our pigments, we can calibrate the finish to perfectly complement your flooring and lighting. The result is a high-end, bespoke surface that feels both incredibly modern and deeply rooted in the philosophy of wabi-sabi: finding beauty in the raw and the unrefined.
