Concrete finish on the walls

Concrete has always been considered one of the construction bases for basic structures and columns of any building, which were later covered by other more noble materials such as plaster, plaster or wood that hid this material and left it outside the sight. But today the concrete It has become one more material to use inside our house as part of floors, walls or ceilings.

If what we want is to apply a finish of this type on a wall that we already have built, it is best to go to materials such as the one called micro-cement, which has the advantage of being able to be applied by means of a thin layer on any other material, being able to also choose the finish and the color. It is also perfect for areas where there is humidity such as the kitchen or the bathroom.

If you like this type of finish but you don't quite dare to use concrete on your walls, you can choose wallpaper that imitates this material and that creates a very modern atmosphere wherever it is placed. The brand Concrete wall has designed a very special collection in which you can choose between different imitation concrete finishes, highlighting that these types of motifs are not repeated throughout the paper roll, but that each roll is unique and presents a different drawing so you will avoid the mosaic effect and you will get a very real look on your walls. It is vinyl type so it is washable and highly resistant to tearing and UV rays, preventing the pattern and material from degrading over time.

We can also choose to create our walls directly with this material by pouring it into molds that shape the walls from scratch. For this use three different types of structural concrete that we can use on our walls leaving it visible without applying any other finish on it: the so-called recoverable formwork, shotcrete or shotcrete and aerated concrete, the latter is presented in blocks that are placed by joining them together with mortar.
