It combines aesthetics with ease of use and instantly adds character to any surface, without the weight or cost of real concrete.

Concrete look with BRUUT
Concrete look paint is actually a special textured paint with a mineral character, giving it a tough, rough appearance like real concrete. The paint contains fine sand or mineral particles that create that authentic cement look. This gives every surface a natural, industrial finish.
There are different types of paint that can create a concrete look. Traditional concrete paint is primarily intended to protect real concrete. Concrete look paint, on the other hand, is used to mimic the concrete style, even on wood, metal, or plaster.
At Paintfactory, BRUUT is highly recommended if you want to paint this concrete look. It is a natural textured paint that is easy to apply and provides a beautiful, durable result. Feel free to combine BRUUT with chalk paint, because with chalk paint you can also create a soft, warm concrete look that fits perfectly into a modern interior.
Thus, with textured paint and chalk paint, you have plenty of options to create your desired concrete look; tough, stylish, and unique.

Applying concrete look in bathroom, kitchen, or living room
Concrete look paint is incredibly versatile and can be used in many places in the house. In the bathroom, concrete look creates a sleek, modern appearance on walls that can withstand moisture, provided the correct finish is used. With special concrete look wall paint such as BRUUT, you can also create a tough, durable concrete look in damp areas without worrying about mould or damage.
In the kitchen, concrete look is perfect for an industrial atmosphere, for example on backsplashes or walls. Here too, choose a paint that is water-resistant and easy to clean, such as BRUUT concrete look paint.
For the living room, concrete look is ideal for a feature wall or even furniture. For furniture, make sure to use a suitable protective layer to prevent wear and tear. Concrete look wall paint is perfect for this, as it gives that raw, natural look without feeling rough.
In short: concrete look in bathroom, kitchen, and living room can be applied everywhere with the right products. At Paintfactory, we recommend choosing the durable and water-resistant BRUUT concrete look paint for damp areas. Chalk paint is softer and therefore less suitable for damp areas and furniture.

Step 1: Prepare and prime the surface
Good preparation is crucial for a sleek concrete look.
Do you want to paint textured paint in a concrete look? Start with the right base:
- First consult the technical sheet of the product.
- Protect floors and furniture and carefully tape off edges.
- Apply the accompanying coloured primer. This ensures that the colour nuances of the BRUUT textured paint are optimally visible.
This is the basis for any successful concrete look painting project.
Step 2: Apply textured paint
- Use the BRUUT Roller and BRUUT Spatula to build up the texture.
- Apply an even layer of textured paint (approximately 1 mm thick) with the BRUUT Roller.
- Create your texture with the spatula. Work in different directions for a natural effect.
- Ensure no open spots or “holes” are left in the paint.
- Allow to dry for 48 hours. For painting a concrete look, this step is essential.

Step 3: Finish with a scraping layer
- For an authentic concrete look, use the Anza spreader: apply a thin scraping layer to the dry textured layer.
- Work from the edges to the middle and in different directions.
- For the concrete look, let the cloud effect come into its own even more by scraping more subtly.
- This way you bring that typical paint structure to life when painting a concrete look.
