The advantages of polished concrete are numerous. Seamless, contemporary and durable, this finish has established itself as one of the most sought-after in interior renovation: it transforms floors, walls and bathrooms with a mineral elegance. As an applicator of Marius Aurenti solutions, Clavel Rénovation presents the main advantages of polished concrete in the Var (83).
A thin-layer mineral decorative coating, polished concrete appeals for its seamless finish, durability and ability to cover both floors and walls, a staircase or a worktop. Whether for a complete renovation or to refresh a single room, it offers a solution that is both aesthetic, durable and easy to maintain. Here are the main advantages of this material in detail, from its low thickness ideal for renovations to its almost limitless customisation, as well as its resistance and suitability for damp rooms.
A modern, seamless finish
Polished concrete creates continuous surfaces, with no visible joints or connections. This continuity of material provides a sleek, contemporary and high-end finish that visually enlarges spaces and suits both a designer interior and a character property.
A small thickness, ideal for renovation
Applied at just around 2 mm thick, microcement can be laid directly onto many existing surfaces — including tiling — with no need for demolition or rubble. It limits level differences and facilitates continuity from one room to another, making it a particularly suitable solution for renovation work.
Hard-wearing and durable
The Marius Aurenti thin-layer poured concrete offers high resistance (up to 44 MPa) and great longevity. Applied according to the protocols by a qualified tradesperson, it benefits from a guarantee of up to 15 years against intrinsic cracking. Careful application — substrate preparation, primer, application in multiple passes and protection — guarantees a long-lasting result.
Ideal for damp rooms
Thanks to its highly waterproof protection system, poured concrete is perfectly suited for bathrooms and walk-in showers. Combined with compliant waterproofing of the substrate, it allows for the creation of joint-free, aesthetic and moisture-resistant wet rooms.
Easy to live with and maintain
With no joints or nooks and crannies, the surface of polished concrete can be easily cleaned on a daily basis using a suitable mild cleaning product. Regular maintenance is enough to maintain its appearance for many years, making it a practical flooring option for living areas as well as higher-traffic zones.
Infinitely customisable
Colours, textures and finishes: waxed concrete adapts to every project. The Marius Aurenti range offers numerous mineral shades, textures ranging from smooth to non-slip, and matt or satin finishes. Every creation is unique and designed to complement your interior.
A versatile material
Floors, walls, stairs, vanity tops, worktops, splashbacks or patios: polished concrete coats numerous surfaces with the same aesthetic consistency. This versatility makes it possible to create a true continuity of material throughout the house.
A healthy and French solution
Made in France, Marius Aurenti poured concrete is tested by independent laboratories (CSTB, LNE) and, for the products concerned, rated A+ for its low indoor air emissions. A reassuring choice for the air quality in your home.
In summary: the advantages of polished concrete
Whether in renovation or construction, the advantages of poured concrete make it a safe and long-lasting finish: seamless aesthetics, low thickness, high resistance, waterproofing and simple maintenance. Manufactured in France, the products Marius Aurenti guarantee reliable and long-lasting installation, provided they are fitted by a qualified applicator.
