Concrete Interior Design Trends of 2019
December is almost gone and the end of 2018 is near. While we can look back on a great year, we may also look forward to next year. What trends are interesting for us and for you concerning concrete in interior design?
Concrete countertops
Although we started our business mainly with concrete countertops, the last couple of years we didn’t do a lot of them anymore. However, concrete is coming back in kitchen designs! Apart from regular countertops, this also includes concrete tops and waterfall edges for kitchen islands. Our sealers, either topical or hybrid, are better than ever, providing the best care and protection to concrete kitchen tops. Yet we obviously don’t advise to try out the strength and endurance of the sealer by cutting straight on the surface or by exposing it to acids and oils longer than desirable.
Raw concrete
Raw concrete is the texture we see at concrete structures which are made of poured in place concrete, such as walls. However, with our custom moulding technique, we create thin raw concrete panels, which can be applied anytime, anywhere. The client can enjoy the beauty of bold looking, industrial, authentic aesthetic, produced and installed with the ease of modern techniques.
Microcement
Last but not least: we want to introduce you to microcement. Microcement is a technique of troweling the concrete mix directly unto the substrate, either at location or in our shop. It is a great alternative for concrete panels at complex situations or smaller objects, but it also displays style and grace on walls and fireplace surrounds. The seamless result resembles the artwork of the installer, which adds to the uniqueness of the design.
