Concrete Standard vs. Rust Concrete – Two Style Worlds, One Quality Standard

Urban inspiration. Architectural thinking. For spaces with character and substance.

Wall design defines more than just the interior—it shapes the first impression of a room, conveying style, mood, and ambition. With the flexible, mineral wall coverings in concrete look from Wall Rapture Germany GmbH, interior design reaches a new level—authentic in feel, precise in craftsmanship, timeless in design.

Two variants take center stage: Concrete Standard—a calm, minimalist interpretation of urban architecture—and Rust Concrete—a powerful industrial look with vintage character. Both solutions are handcrafted uniques, 100% Made in Germany, developed for a new generation of wall design in industrial chic.

Concrete Standard – Clarity in Grey: The Modern Classic

The “Concrete Standard” surface stands for architectural restraint and timeless aesthetics. It interprets classic exposed concrete in a calm, smooth structure with subtle pitting and uniform texture. The color palette ranges from elegant greys to concrete tones, imparting a sober depth and visual clarity to any room. Other colors like red or black concrete are also possible.

Ideal for:

Loft-style living spaces

Representative offices and work areas

Architectural hotel and retail concepts

Exposed concrete ceilings with gypsum board substrates

Furniture, counters, or fronts in concrete look

The thin-layered, flexible application makes this mineral wall covering the ideal solution for creative interior design—whether on classic wall surfaces, curved elements, furniture pieces, or ceilings. Especially in combination with glass, stainless steel, light woods, or linear lighting concepts, “Concrete Standard” unfolds its understated strength.

Rust Concrete – Expressive, Raw, Full of Depth

The design surface “Rust Concrete” by Wall Rapture represents industrial design in its most emotional form. Inspired by the aged look of Corten steel, this variant impresses with an intense, rust-red coloration in the concrete pits, dynamic structures, and a visual texture that immediately catches the eye.

This rolled concrete with rust inclusions is a concrete wallpaper that thrives on its powerful presence—with tones ranging from grey, oxidized brown, to dark patina. The surface is not smooth but dynamic and full of character. It evokes weathered steel plates and brings the feeling of material aging on concrete and authenticity into modern spaces.

Ideal for:

Design hotels and creative gastronomy concepts

Showrooms, galleries, and reception areas

Individual accent walls in living spaces

Retail areas with brand impact

Showrooms for motorcycles or motorcycle apparel

“Rust Concrete” is not a background—it is a central design element. Particularly impressive is the combination with Concrete Standard, black steel, dark wood, artificial lighting, or natural stone. This creates an industrial look with strong spatial presence and emotional depth

Rethinking Rust Wallpaper: Bringing the Authentic Corten Steel Look to Your Walls

Wall design with depth, character, and material expression
A design statement for those who don’t just stage industrial chic but live it.

Turning Metal into Art – and a Wall into a Unique Piece

Imagine entering a room where metal paints with time. A wall surface displays rust-red lines, dark shadows, and metallic efflorescence. None of it is reproduced. No copy, no repetition. Just pure material, visibly aged—raw, real, alive.

At first glance, it appears to be solid Corten steel, but in reality, it’s a mineral-based rust wallpaper with a genuine metal surface—ultralight, flexible, yet with the full impact of oxidized structural steel. This combination of authentic appearance and artisanal craftsmanship makes Wall Rapture’s rust wallpapers so unique. Each strip is a handcrafted one-of-a-kind piece. Through a precisely controlled oxidation process, a surface emerges that appears aged yet is technically state-of-the-art. The design remains individually controllable: you decide whether rust-red veins, brown efflorescence, flame-like gradients, or a calmer patina should define your wall’s character. Whether expressive with bizarre rust structures, striking in flame optics, or subtle in elegant vintage style—your rust-look wall covering becomes a character-rich unique piece, uniting architecture, materiality, and emotion.

You determine the look—we deliver genuine rust art in wallpaper format.

No imitation, no photo print, no merely mineral-colored filler: what you receive is authentic rust—visibly grown, controlled aging, and handcrafted onto a flexible wallpaper. Each surface becomes an original, each wall a unique piece with genuine material character.

The Surface – Oxidized Aesthetics with Real Depth

Unlike photorealistic printed wallpapers, our “rust wallpaper” is based on a genuine reaction process: finest metal dust is applied to a mineral carrier material and then deliberately oxidized. We use only household substances for oxidation to avoid endangering your health or that of our employees. The result is vibrant, organically grown structures that shift in color tones from warm orange to earthy brown to dark anthracite.

This surface not only visually but also tactilely resembles real Corten steel—without the weight, without corrosion, without structural limitations.

Design Features at a Glance:

Natural rust gradients with depth effect

Dynamic color play in real metal quality

Irregular surface structure for maximum authenticity

Each rust element a unique piece—distinct in pattern and color gradient

The Technology – Real Metal Meets Mineral Know-How

The base of the rust wallpaper is a breathable, mineral carrier material. Metal powder is applied in the finest layer, oxidized, and refined as desired with glazes, pigments, or protective sealants. This creates a robust surface with exceptional design character.

Technical Advantages at a Glance:

Low weight—under 1 kg/m²

Flexible application—ideal for walls, furniture, ceilings, and special shapes

Installation without dirt, drying times, or noise

No unpleasant odor from oxidation

No flawed rust look due to installer error

Each Wall an Original – Rust Wallpaper with a Signature

What makes Wall Rapture Germany GmbH’s rust wallpapers so extraordinary is the deliberately controlled irregularity—and therein lies their great design strength. No oxidation process is the same, no color gradients or structures repeat exactly. Instead of standardized reproduction, a vibrant material with depth, character, and visual tension emerges—a material that is not just surface but shows attitude.

Each strip is individually oxidized in a labor-intensive process, selected, and carefully matched based on visual criteria. The precise assembly of the rust strips is not done by machine but by trained eyes and experienced hands—so that each surface comes together harmoniously yet individually.

This creates wall designs with artistic composition, where you determine the degree of rusting yourself: from finely branched rust veins to gentle patina to dramatic, flame-like rust images. Your wall becomes a true unique piece—with genuine metal structure and unmistakable charisma.

Each Wall Surface Receives:

Its own structure and visual depth

An unmistakable aura of authenticity and change

An expressive character—ideal for spaces with design ambition

Whether design hotel, flagship store, residential kitchen, or spa area: these wallpapers are more than surface—they tell stories of iron, air, and time.
