Dress Your Walls in Concrete

Decorative, original and durable, wall concrete is a specific form of microcement designed for interior wall decoration, whether in a bedroom, living room or kitchen. Made from cement, sand and mineral pigments, wall concrete can receive different types of finishing products, such as stain or varnish, depending on its intended use.

Wall concrete is a different material from “Classic” microcement, which is mainly used for floors. The wall version is actually a finishing plaster, with the advantage of being workable over large surfaces.

Wall concrete is also much more affordable, as it can be applied in a thin layer over a primer before adding a protective coat. It therefore offers a clear economic advantage.

In general, wall concrete is applied in a millimetre-thin coat over an existing substrate. This may be plasterboard or concrete block, a rougher cement surface, or even tiles. In all cases, the substrate must be carefully prepared to ensure an even result.

And if you are wondering whether an entire room can be finished in wall concrete, including the ceiling, the answer is yes.

The Marius Aurenti Wall Concrete Range

With its deep matt finish and natural colours, wall concrete is a highly contemporary material for dressing a living room or bedroom, or turning a boutique into a showcase for its products. It responds beautifully to other materials — wood, marble, glass, metal, ceramic, earthenware — while bringing a mineral decorative touch.

Textured or smooth, wall concrete leaves room for the craftsman’s creativity in the service of design. Whether new or weathered by time, wall concrete is both unique and multifaceted.

Wall Concrete

Coloured through the material, it offers a wide variety of colours and finishes to suit every decorative style: for example, a light grey textured concrete wall with an industrial look, or a smooth concrete wall in a pastel pink or terracotta shade, evoking the warmth and authenticity of the earth.

“Classic” Wall Concrete

“Classic” Wall Concrete offers a smoother finish, soft like velvet, fine and sensual to the touch, with a cloudy, patinated and elegant appearance.

FAQ on Wall Concrete

1Is wall concrete suitable for every room in the home?

Wall concrete is perfectly suited to dry rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms or offices. For wet rooms, such as bathrooms, showers or kitchens, Marius Aurenti recommends using microcement instead, as its formulation is specifically designed to resist humidity, water splashes and intensive cleaning.

2What types of substrates can wall concrete be applied to?

Wall concrete can be applied to smooth, clean and sound substrates: plasterboard, plaster coatings, existing tiles, raw concrete, etc. Proper substrate preparation is essential to ensure good adhesion and an even finish.

3Is wall concrete difficult to maintain?

No. Properly protected wall concrete is easy to clean with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive household cleaner. It does not require any specific maintenance, except in high-traffic or highly exposed areas where protection may be reinforced over time.

4What type of concrete should be used for a wall?

For walls, Marius Aurenti uses a decorative concrete specially formulated for vertical surfaces. Lighter and finer than concrete designed for floors, it is applied in a thin layer — approximately 1 to 2 mm — and offers excellent hold without dripping. It allows subtle material effects to be created, while ensuring perfect adhesion to suitable substrates such as plaster, plaster coatings, concrete, tiles, etc.

5Can texture or colour effects be achieved with wall concrete?

Yes, wall concrete offers great freedom for customisation. It is possible to play with material effects — smooth, cloudy or structured — and to choose from a wide colour chart of natural, deep shades specific to Marius Aurenti.

6What is the difference between wall concrete and microcement?

Wall concrete is specifically formulated for vertical surfaces: it is lighter, more flexible to apply at height, and provides an aesthetic finish suited to walls. Microcement, on the other hand, is designed for more demanding surfaces, such as floors and worktops, as well as wet rooms.

Applying microcement to a plasterboard wall

Microcement can be applied to a plasterboard wall without any problem. Plasterboard is also known as drywall or gypsum board, including BA10, BA13, BA15, BA18, BA25, etc.

Plasterboard has the advantage of being a perfectly flat surface, but the joints interrupt this surface and may create slight relief or differences in appearance as the coating dries. Since the layer of microcement or wall concrete is only millimetres thick, any underlying relief or difference in moisture absorption — particularly around the joints between boards — may be reflected on the surface.

To reduce the visibility of the joints, flatness strips can be applied. Preferably, however, a full-surface skim coat should be applied to fill imperfections and even out the surface.

This skim coat is then sanded very lightly before applying a white wall primer, followed by the wall concrete or lime finish.
