At Claddagh Plastering, we pride ourselves on turning visions into reality through our innovative plastering techniques and meticulous craftsmanship. Recently, we had the pleasure of working on a modern home in Christchurch, where we were tasked with creating a concrete timber board-form look using the polished plaster product 'Concrete' by Novacolor. This project, requested by a builder with a keen eye for design, showcases the seamless blend of contemporary style and artisanal skill that defines our work.
The journey began with a unique request from the builder at Home Trends Builders, who envisioned a standout finish for the home's stairwell wall and fireplace. The builder sought a finish that would enhance the modern aesthetic of the home. We were thrilled to take on the challenge and knew that Novacolor's 'Concrete' product would be perfect for achieving the desired look.
Polished plaster, an ancient technique experiencing a modern renaissance, allows us to create luxurious, versatile finishes that add depth and character to any space. The 'Concrete' product by Novacolor combines durability with elegance, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like stairwells and statement pieces such as fireplaces.
Our concrete timber board-form finish mimics the appearance of timber intricately stitched together with the raw, industrial appeal of concrete. This unique finish adds a touch of sophistication and modernity to the home, creating a visual masterpiece.
Creating this finish was a detailed and intricate process. We started with meticulous surface preparation to ensure a flawless base. Applying the plaster in layers, we carefully crafted each one to contribute to the overall texture and finish. Using specialised tools and techniques, we created the timber effect, paying close attention to detail to ensure each 'stitch' was perfectly aligned and textured.
The final result was a textured finish that exuded elegance and modernity.
The transformation of the space was remarkable. The stairwell wall, adorned with the concreteboard-form finish, became a striking focal point, drawing the eye upward and creating a sense of movement and flow within the home. The fireplace, often the heart of a living space, was transformed into a work of art, seamlessly blending with the home's contemporary design while adding a touch of rustic charm.
The success of this project was a testament to the collaboration between the builder and our team at Claddagh Plastering. Working closely together, we ensured that every detail was meticulously planned and executed, resulting in a finish that exceeded expectations. This project exemplifies how teamwork and creativity can come together to create something truly extraordinary.

Our expertise in polished plaster and commitment to quality and craftsmanship ensure that your vision can become a reality.
