\"Polished<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A seamless, polished concrete wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Applied in thin layers, polished concrete hugs your walls for a uniform and elegant finish, with no visible joints or joins. The shades specific to the material give depth to the surface: each wall is unique. You choose the shade and the intensity of the effects to match your decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for kitchen splashbacks and bathrooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Protected by a suitable sealant, polished concrete is resistant to water and splashes, making it a modern, easy-to-clean kitchen splashback without the grout lines of tiles. In the bathroom, it coats the walls and even the shower enclosure for a sleek, high-end look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A neat finish by a craftsman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A beautiful polished concrete wall requires a sound substrate and skilled application. We prepare the surface, apply the coats and install the final protective finish for a lasting result. Clavel R\u00e9novation advises you on shades and finishes, throughout the Var and PACA regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently asked questions about the polished concrete wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can polished concrete be applied to any wall?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Micro-concrete can be applied to most interior surfaces (plasterboard, render, old wall tiles) provided they are sound, dry and stable. A suitable primer is applied before the coats of micro-concrete to ensure perfect adhesion. As stated in the factsheet dedicated to polished concrete on Wikipedia<\/a>, this mineral coating differs from traditional concrete by its fineness of application and richness of shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long does it take to install a polished concrete wall?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the surface area and the number of coats, generally allow several days between preparing the substrate, applying the polished concrete and putting on the protective sealer, while respecting the drying times between each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is wall poured concrete afraid of moisture?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once protected with a varnish suited to its use (dry room, bathroom, kitchen splashback), poured concrete resists water splashes and ambient humidity very well. For a walk-in shower, on the other hand, specific waterproofing beneath the poured concrete remains essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between a polished concrete wall and a traditional decorative render?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike a traditional decorative render, the polished concrete wall offers a continuous finish, without grain or pronounced relief, with good mechanical resistance thanks to its composition based on mineral binders and resins. It can also extend from the wall to the floor for an enveloping effect sought after in contemporary interiors. This versatility makes it a popular choice for both renovation and new construction, to give character to a living room, hallway or bathroom without multiplying materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
