Cement finishes are decorative applications made from a mixture of cement, resins, pigments, and other raw materials. These finishes provide a seamless, robust, and modern surface that is both highly durable and visually striking. Whether you choose a smooth, textured, or sculpted look, cement finishes can be applied to a variety of surfaces including floors, walls, and furniture.
While traditionally used in industrial settings, cement finishes have become increasingly popular in residential design due to their sleek, modern aesthetic and versatility. These finishes provide a contemporary touch to any space and are particularly well-suited for modern homes, kitchens, bathrooms, or even outdoor areas like patios and walkways.
Cement finishes are an excellent choice for homeowners and commercial property owners alike. Here are several reasons why cement finishes are a standout option:
Durability: Cement is a long-lasting material that withstands the test of time. It is resistant to wear, impact, and weather, making it ideal for high-traffic areas, bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces.
Seamless Look: Cement finishes provide a joint-free and seamless surface, creating a clean and minimalist appearance. This seamless nature reduces grout lines and makes cleaning and maintenance much easier.
Versatility: Whether you want a smooth, matte finish or a textured, sculpted surface, cement finishes can be customized to suit your design style. They work well in both residential and commercial properties and can be applied to walls, floors, and furniture.
Eco-Friendly: Many cement finishes are made from natural ingredients like marble powder, lime, and other sustainable materials, making them an environmentally friendly option for those looking to minimize their ecological footprint.
One of our standout cement finishes is Cemento Naturale, a high-end decorative finish that combines traditional techniques with innovative materials. Cemento Naturale is a cement-based finish created using a combination of Istinto and two coats of beeswax, resulting in a stunning and durable surface that mimics the look and feel of concrete.
Cemento Naturale is particularly known for its versatility and is well-suited for both commercial and residential projects. It can be applied on floors, walls, and furniture to create a sophisticated concrete look with a natural finish.
Istinto is the primary product used in the creation of Cemento Naturale. It’s a breathable Venetian plaster made from natural ingredients like marble powder, natural minerals, and seasoned lime. The application process involves spreading Istinto over the desired surface, followed by two coats of beeswax for added protection and sheen.
Ease of Application: Istinto is easy to apply, making it a popular choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals. It offers excellent adhesion to various substrates and can be used in combination with a range of limefast colors or Creative Paints to customize the finish.
Durability: This cement finish provides the durability and appearance of concrete, ensuring it stands up to heavy traffic, moisture, and daily use while maintaining its aesthetic integrity.
Our cement finishes are incredibly versatile and can be used for a variety of applications. Whether you are working on a residential renovation or a commercial project, our finishes are designed to meet the demands of both aesthetics and functionality. Here are some of the most common uses for cement finishes:
· Cement Finishes for Walls
Cement finishes on walls are a popular choice for creating a sleek, industrial look. A smooth, polished cement finish can make a room appear larger and more open, while a textured or sculpted finish can add depth and character to any space. Cemento Naturale, in particular, is great for creating unique accent walls, especially in modern living rooms, kitchens, or hotel lobbies.
For commercial projects such as restaurants or cafes, cement finishes offer a high-end, timeless look that complements contemporary designs. The clean lines and minimalistic appearance of cement finishes are perfect for spaces that aim to leave a lasting impression on customers.
· Cement Finishes for Floors
Cement flooring is one of the most popular applications of cement finishes, providing a seamless and stylish surface that is also durable and easy to maintain. With the Cemento Naturale finish, you get the appearance of concrete with added protection from wear and tear.
Whether you are updating your living room, kitchen, bathroom, or corridors, cement floors provide a modern, cohesive look throughout the space. They are especially suited for high-traffic areas and can withstand spills and stains with minimal maintenance.
· Cement Finishes for Furniture
Cement finishes are also ideal for updating existing furniture, such as tables, countertops, and shelves. Applying a cement finish to your furniture creates a sleek, industrial look that adds character to any space. Cemento Naturale offers a smooth, refined finish that works well with various furniture styles, whether modern, rustic, or eclectic.
By applying Istinto or a similar product to your furniture, you can create a custom piece that seamlessly integrates into your home or commercial design. This technique also makes it possible to match the furniture finish with the rest of the room’s design.
· Outdoor Cement Finishes
Cement finishes are also perfect for outdoor spaces, thanks to their resistance to the elements. Whether you're looking to update your patio, deck, or garden path, cement finishes provide a durable surface that stands up to UV rays, moisture, and foot traffic.
Outdoor Cemento Naturale can be used to create sophisticated, low-maintenance areas that integrate seamlessly with nature. With its ability to withstand weather conditions, it's the perfect choice for outdoor kitchens, walkways, driveways, and pool decks.
1. How long does it take to apply a cement finish?
The application time depends on the size of the area and the type of cement finish being applied. On average, it takes between 4-7 days to complete a project, including preparation, application, and drying time. Larger or more intricate designs may take additional time. Our expert team will provide you with a more accurate timeline based on your specific project.
2. Is Cemento Naturale suitable for bathrooms and wet areas?
Yes, Cemento Naturale is ideal for bathrooms, wet rooms, and other moisture-prone areas. The combination of Istinto and beeswax provides a water-resistant surface that resists moisture and humidity, making it perfect for showers, baths, and sinks.
3. How do I maintain a cement finish?
Cement finishes are relatively low maintenance. For general cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For added protection, we recommend using a sealer to keep the surface looking pristine. For areas exposed to heavy use, a routine reapplication of beeswax or sealer can help maintain the finish’s appearance.
4. Can cement finishes be applied to uneven surfaces?
Yes, cement finishes like Istinto can be applied to uneven or damaged surfaces. One of the benefits of cement-based finishes is their ability to level out imperfections and create a smooth, cohesive surface. The application may take longer on more irregular surfaces, but the final result will be a flawless finish.
5. What types of spaces are best suited for cement finishes?
Cement finishes are perfect for both residential and commercial spaces. They are commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms in residential projects. For commercial settings, cement finishes are ideal for restaurants, cafes, hotels, and office spaces where a modern, industrial aesthetic is desired.
6. Can I customize the color and finish of my cement surface?
Absolutely! Cement finishes like Cemento Naturale can be customized with a variety of limefast colors or Creative Paints to suit your design vision. Whether you want a subtle, neutral tone or a bold, vibrant color, the flexibility of cement finishes allows you to create a completely unique look.
