Painting walls with a concrete look

Would you like to give your walls a concrete look? You can! By using concrete-look wall paint, you can give your walls the appearance of real concrete. This specific type of paint is designed to bring an industrial and modern touch to your interior, transforming spaces into striking and robust environments.

How to apply concrete-look paint!

Applying concrete-look paint is easier than you might think. This type of paint can be applied just like regular wall paint using a roller and brush. With good-quality tools, you can avoid leaving lint or brush hairs in the paint. To get started, it’s best to divide the wall into 1m by 1m squares. Paint these squares from left to right and top to bottom, working wet-on-wet to minimise the chance of streaks.

The wet-on-wet technique works as follows: Start by painting a strip from top to bottom on the left side of the wall. Then paint a second strip, overlapping the first by 2.5cm while the first strip is still wet, and paint from top to bottom again. Repeat this process until the entire wall is painted!

Step-by-step guide

Would you like to paint your walls with a concrete look but don’t know where to start? Check out this handy step-by-step guide! We’ll explain how to get the best results with concrete-look paint!

1. Step 1. Preparation: Preparation is always the first step. This includes preparing the surface of your project, as well as protecting floors and areas you don’t want to paint! Start by cleaning the walls and ensuring they’re free of grease, then check if a primer is needed. Tape everything securely and place a protective sheet on the floor to avoid unwanted paint splatters.
   
2. Step 2. Apply primer or base coat: If your wall isn’t absorbent and has been painted before, you can skip this step. Step 2 involves applying primer or base coat, which helps create the perfect foundation for the final layer of paint. Using a primer or base coat eliminates the wall’s absorbency and ensures a smooth and seamless finish.
   
3. Step 3. Painting: Once the primer has been applied, you can start painting! For best results, paint from left to right and top to bottom for an even finish. The wet-on-wet technique is also great for preventing streaks! For the best advice on streak-free painting, you can read this blog. After painting, remove the painter’s tape and protective sheets as soon as possible to prevent peeling paint.
