Concrete S, where S stands for “Spatula” (or “Steel Trowel”), is a decorative finish with a strong tactile and urban character, inspired by the concrete castings in wooden formworks; a technique typical of reinforced concrete structures of the early twentieth century. The surfaces evoke the wood grain and imperfections of cement, with an underground aesthetic with an urban flavour, ideal for industrial or post-industrial interiors.

The decorative wall finish Concrete S is obtained thanks to the synergy between two lime-based products: VXF, mineral plaster with fine grain size and Vixalit 500, mineral paint that defines the final colour tones and depth.
Once the substrate is prepared, a first coat of VXF is applied to level the surface. After drying, a second coat is applied in bands and immediately textured while still wet using a wooden board as a stamp, creating the characteristic “formwork” texture. Finally, for a tone-on-tone effect, one or more coats of Vixalit 500 are applied, to be burnished before complete drying.
