Raw Concrete Aesthetics: How to Achieve Industrial Look in Modern Architecture?

Raw concrete aesthetics has become an indispensable element of industrial and minimalist interior design over the past decade. However, authentic concrete surfaces cannot be applied to every space — this is where specialized paint systems come into play.

How to Achieve Raw Concrete Appearance?

Luna Tones Raw Concrete Primer, when applied to standard plastered or gypsum walls, reflects authentic concrete texture. Color tonality, surface texture, and light reflection properties are formulated to match real concrete.

Application Process

Surface preparation: Existing paint or dirt is completely removed. The plaster surface must be smooth and dry.

First coat: Undiluted Raw Concrete Primer is applied smoothly with a wide brush or roller.

Texture creation: While the first coat is still wet, concrete texture is created using irregular brush strokes or a special roller. This step is shaped according to personal preference and room dimensions.

Second coat: After the first coat is completely dry (minimum 6 hours), apply the undiluted second coat. This coat adds depth.

Which Spaces Are Suitable?

Color Options
