Concrete imitation

Concrete imitation

Do you want exposed concrete surfaces after all the walls have already been plastered? There are no limits to what we can do with imitation concrete. We offer you concrete surfaces that look deceptively real and enable very modern interior design.

Our concrete imitation is also suitable for shops, restaurants, hotels and business facilities. Ideal for setting special accents. Each customer's individual wishes can be addressed, so that every wall is unique.

At a glance

Concrete imitation explained clearly

Imitation concrete creates a concrete look on suitable surfaces when real exposed concrete is not possible or not economical. It combines a concrete concrete effect with a flexible design.

Who is this service suitable for?

Relevant for interior design, shop fitting, architecture, conversions and objects where a concrete look is desired without a solid concrete component.

Your benefits

  • Flexible surfacesConcrete effects can also occur during expansion and on existing components.
  • Individual designThe color, structure and formwork effect are sampled on the object.
  • Lower depth of interventionThe existing structure does not need to be replaced with solid concrete.

Typical challenges and solutions

Concrete look without a real concrete component

Weight, construction height, inventory or costs speak against real exposed concrete.

BKOS creates an object-specific imitation with structure, color and craftsmanship layering.

The surface conveys the character of concrete without changing the shell.

Unsettled or unsuitable existing surfaces

Existing plasters or finishing areas do not achieve the desired material effect.

BKOS prepares the subsurface according to the system and builds up the concrete look in coordinated layers.

The existing structure has an independent concrete effect that matches the space.

Applications

  • Interior walls and reception areas
  • Retail and catering spaces
  • Conversions with existing subsoil

Our approach

  1. Assess the surfaceBKOS checks the type of concrete, suction behavior, damage pattern, contamination and structural conditions directly on the property.
  2. Establish patterns and proceduresDepending on the surface, sampling, choice of material, color, protection system and work sequence are defined.
  3. Implement execution in a controlled mannerThe work is carried out in sections with ongoing monitoring of appearance, adhesion, drying and connection areas.
  4. Acceptance and care instructionsAfter execution, the result, limits and sensible care or protective measures are documented.

Quality and limitations

A good imitation of concrete depends on pattern surfaces, layering and moderate irregularities. The subsurface must be prepared and suitable for the chosen system.

What determines the quotation?

  • Area size and surface preparation
  • Desired structure and formwork appearance
  • Number of pattern and color matches
  • Stress and required surface protection

Available throughout Switzerland

BKOS works throughout Switzerland for private, commercial and public construction projects. The deployment planning depends on the object, surface, access and appointment window.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about this service

On which surfaces is concrete imitation possible?

Depending on the system, mineral substrates, plastered surfaces, suitable panel materials and existing interior walls are possible. The surface must be stable, dry, clean and suitably prepared.

How does imitation concrete differ from real exposed concrete?

Concrete imitation is a handcrafted surface structure and not a solid concrete component. It can absorb color tone, cloudiness, pores and formwork effect, but remains lighter and more flexible to use.

Can imitation concrete be used outdoors?

This only makes sense with a suitable structure and after checking the substrate, moisture, temperature and weathering. Not every interior system is suitable for facades or permanently damp areas.

How is imitation concrete cleaned and maintained?

The care depends on the seal, use and surface structure. As a rule, mild cleaning agents and soft aids are sufficient; Aggressive acids, abrasives and uncontrolled high pressure should be avoided.

Why is a sample area important when imitating concrete?

Colour, structure and irregularities appear different depending on the light and room. A sample area creates a common target image and reduces misunderstandings before execution.
