Finish Effects
Minerals
Inspired by nature, mineral plasters are truly connected to the earth. With minerals, an artisan can explore with stenciling, overlaying, and textures to create amazing complex finishes.
Metallics
Metallics can enhance any wall for greater impact. It works with light and the range of options will match just about any feature. Often used over other textured mineral finishes but looks equally great on their own.
Concrete
Concrete is a staple of the modern design aesthetic. Strong, durable, and extremely versatile. Can be applied in light or dark shades, polished, rough, or smooth. Great for heavy traffic areas and for inset work like corporate logos or geometric shapes.
Microcement
With an impressive finish and watertight capability, microcement is applied in bathrooms, spa areas, and spaces that require a durable, long lasting finish.
Finish Techniques
Smooth
Smooth to the touch this wall finish is created with the mineral Marmorino KS and gives a luxurious feel to any design, perfect for statement pieces in hallways or staircases. This example has a wax fusion to provide it with a subtle mother of pearl sheen. Using the mineral Marmorino KS gives it a very tactile, durable, beautiful finish that requires no maintenance.
Light Texture
This is all about the trowel technique. Gentle texture contrasts with a polished top coat. Metallic effects are also highlighted by this technique. Lighting positioned close to the wall enhances the detail in the design and adds drama to the room adding longevity and interest to a bland space.
Polished
The only finish technique that gives you incredible depth of shine and impression. This type of surface can be installed in many places because it’s all about effect. With a very high-end feel, larger spaces of any type benefit from light refraction, making for very complex reflections.
Antique
Creates an aged and weathered look. Perfect for when smooth, large surfaces and modern designs are not the desired finish. When installed with stencils, it gives a very unique look. These techniques are always used in spaces where a historical feel is required and age is important. This finish turns walls into masterpieces with an evolving and natural look.
Distressed
Much like antique, this is a subtler technique and finish. The level of distress depends on the design and various colors can be applied. Generally, this effect is quite heavily textured and tends to be used for statement pieces rather than whole spaces due to the intensity of the finish.
Banding
This is a highly visual technique that incorporates varied texture and shadows. These straight lines give a feeling of structure and texture that can add interest to any environment.
Blended
Blending is the best way to have lighter and darker tones of color. This works particularly well with stenciling and layering. Great lighting is always essential to get the best feel.
Travertine
Similar to travertine tile but this effect gives the impression of a seamless, heavy, and very large piece of rock. A tactile and subtle finish that can be textured or smooth to the touch. Often used as statement pieces or for whole rooms such as bathrooms or for pillars and columns.
