How concrete design walls are made
Firstly, let's talk about how we go about making a concrete design wall. A concrete design wall is an addition to the structural walls in your home or business. It “sits” over a wall surface to add a unique design element to your space. As such, the design wall is fabricated and then installed (rather than being Incorporated into the actual construction of a building).
To create a concrete design wall, a mould is created in the desired shape and size of the wall. This will have been determined through close collaboration between you and your bespoke concrete designer. The concrete is then poured into the mould and left to cure until it is dry and solid. Once the concrete has cured, the mould is removed, and the concrete wall is finished with a sealant or other desired finish.
Reasons why you would have a concrete design wall
So, why should you consider a concrete design wall? Firstly, concrete walls are durable and long-lasting, making them a great investment. They are very resistant to scratches, dents, and other forms of damage, making them a low-maintenance option for any space. Additionally, concrete walls provide a unique aesthetic for any space. They can be moulded and shaped into different patterns and designs, making it a versatile material for creating unique and artistic walls. Concrete walls can be customised to fit your style,
What spaces concrete design walls suit
In terms of spaces where concrete design walls suit, they are a great option for both residential and commercial spaces. Their versatility and the fact that they can be fabricated into unique shapes and personalised with different finishes and edge forms, means that they can seamlessly integrate into almost any space. In homes, concrete walls can be used as an accent wall in a living room or bedroom, creating a focal point and adding visual interest to the space. Concrete design walls are also a popular choice for bathrooms, as they are moisture-resistant and provide a modern and sleek look. In commercial spaces, concrete walls can be used in retail stores or restaurants to create a design that sets the space apart from competitors.
Customisation options
When it comes to customisation options for concrete design walls, the possibilities are pretty much endless. Concrete design walls can be stamped or engraved with different patterns or designs. They can also be textured, such as to make a concrete wall looks like stone. Additionally, concrete walls can be painted or stained in a variety of colours and finishes, allowing them to match any design or colour scheme you have in your space.
