Bill007 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi Guys Interested in the concrete screed rendering on walls I have seen in many places like trendy coffee shops. I think it looks nice and thinking of doing this on my bathroom walls and complementing with tiles in the shower area, is it just concrete sceed then varnish over or is it a type of paint they use Anyone with any expertise or opinions on this appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sametboy2019 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The cheaper option is the premix render is applied to a wall then handfuls of normal cement thrown on the wall and then run through with a wet trow in various directions. This option is usually only used when it is a bare block/new build. You can buy a mix in a tin called loft something but imho it isn't as nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassosa Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The Thais call it "loft style". I prefer the Beger product as it's quite light in colour. Be mindful of application. It's a skill to get a nice texture. Use putty knives. Often it is applied with zero f*s given, which makes it looks cluttered and awful. Last step often is the application of a wax product. Don't go overboard or the end result will be super shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 You really need to do your homework on your contractor for this. I know two people who had the same "dream" and both havebeen very disappointed with the results. I have seen first hand the vast difference that two renderers on two adjacent walls can make and i too would be disa balled off aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judokrab Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Both my wife and my son-in-law can do this finish very competently. I recommend TOA-200 clear coat for the protective finish. The Loft product is quite an expensive way to do it. It costs 1450 per 20 sqm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
