For precise results with style – with the mineral roller-compacted concrete surfaces from Wall Rapture Germany GmbH
Concrete has long since become a stylistic design element. It stands for reduction, urbanity and timeless aesthetics. The mineral wallpapers from Wall Rapture translate this character into flexible, easy-to-apply surfaces that are in no way inferior to the original, both visually and to the touch – without any heavy material, construction dust or drying phases.
Whether in interior design, retail fit-outs or private renovations: These five processing tips show how perfect results can be achieved with roller-compacted concrete from Wall Rapture – high-quality, durable and aesthetically pleasing.
The substrate – the basis for a perfect surface
A professional result starts with the right preparation. The substrate must be stable, even and clean. Classic wall surfaces such as plaster or plasterboard are just as suitable as wood, MDF or furniture fronts.
Before gluing, all unevenness should be filled, loose old coatings removed and – if necessary – an adhesive primer applied. This ensures optimum adhesion of the adhesive and gives the surface a perfect textured effect.
The tool – precision starts with the equipment
You don’t need any special equipment to successfully apply mineral concrete wallpaper, just well-matched standard tools:
- Cutter knife with sharp blade
- Tape measure or folding rule
- Spirit level or laser measuring device
- Pressure roller, spatula, cutting bar
- Adhesive, modeling clay and optional sealant
Please note that prior planning of the joints is essential for fast, smooth processing.
Additional design options are offered by glazes, pigments or effect coatings – for matt, semi-gloss or glossy finishes.
Cutting & planning – structure with a system
Each roll of rolled concrete has a standard size of 300 x 100 cm. Special dimensions and cuts from the concrete sheets can be produced on request. They are cut to size using a cutter knife, ideally from the reverse side. Due to their high flexibility, edges, curves and niches can also be covered without any problems.
If you want to achieve a harmonious joint pattern and a sophisticated look, you should lay out the strips in advance. This allows texture gradients or colors to be matched and special effects to be deliberately created.
Gluing & modeling – craftsmanship meets design
Depending on the substrate, the adhesive is applied directly to the wall or to the back of the wallpaper. The strip is attached and carefully applied with the pressure roller – free of air bubbles, precise and flat.
The transitions are then filled and shaped with the modeling compound. This creates the typical exposed concrete look: seamless, structured and individual. If you wish, you can also emphasize the joints or set specific visual accents. Please take a look at our blog post on joint design options.
Finish & protection – so that concrete impresses in the long term
Once dry, a sealant protects the surface from moisture, abrasion and dirt. Especially in high-traffic areas – such as entrance areas, kitchens, showrooms or bathrooms – the finish preserves the aesthetics in the long term.
The sealant is applied in a thin layer using a paint roller and can be applied several times if required. This keeps the surface easy to clean and resistant – without compromising on appearance.
