Concrete Panelling
Concrete panelling is an increasingly popular choice for internal and external walls, and for a good reason. This versatile material can be used to create a variety of looks, from sleek and modern to rustic and industrial.
And because it's so durable, it's perfect for high-traffic areas like entryways and mudrooms. If you're considering using concrete panelling in your home, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Benefits of Concrete Panelling
There are many reasons why using concrete wall panels has become such a popular choice for walls. Here are just a few of the benefits:
- Concrete is a highly durable material. This makes it ideal for high-traffic areas like entryways and mudrooms.
- Concrete is naturally fireproof, making it an excellent choice for homes in fire-prone areas.
- Once it's installed, concrete panelling requires very little maintenance.
- Concrete panelling can be used to create a variety of looks, from sleek and modern to rustic and industrial.
- Compared to other materials like stone or brick, concrete panelling is very affordable.
Types of Concrete Panelling
There are two main types of concrete panelling: precast and poured.
Precast concrete
Precast concrete panelling is made by pouring concrete into moulds and then curing it in a controlled environment. This type of panelling is typically less expensive than poured concrete, and the panel installation can be relatively quick.
Poured concrete
Poured concrete panelling is made by pouring concrete onto a wall and then smoothing it out. This type of panelling is more expensive than precast panels. However, it offers a more seamless look.
How to Use Concrete Panelling
Concrete panelling can be used for both interior and exterior walls. When used indoors, it's often used to create accent walls or to line mudrooms and entryways. When used outdoors, it can create privacy screens, retaining walls, or clad a home's exterior.
