Frequently Asked Questions Concreate® flooring and walls panels
What is Concreate and how does it differ from traditional concrete?
Concreate is an innovative architectural interior board made from real, fiber-reinforced concrete. Unlike traditional poured concrete, which is heavy, prone to cracking, and requires invasive installation, Concreate offers a lightweight, pre-finished solution. It captures the authentic “Béton brut” aesthetic in a versatile panel format (1/8” thickness for walls) that installs easily on existing surfaces, making it ideal for renovations where weight and curing time are major constraints.
Is Concreate real concrete or a faux finish?
Concreate is 100% authentic concrete. It is not a plastic composite, vinyl, or printed faux effect. Each panel is crafted from mineral cements and fibers, air-cured to develop a natural, unique patina. Just like a poured slab, no two Concreate panels are exactly alike, providing the shade variation, texture, and tactile coldness that design purists demand from genuine industrial materials.
Can Concreate be installed in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes, Concreate is highly suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. The panels are sealed with high-performance oils that provide water and stain resistance, protecting them from splashes and humidity. While they are excellent for bathroom walls and floors, for direct high-water zones (like inside a shower enclosure), we recommend consulting with a professional installer regarding specific waterproofing substrates to ensure a watertight seal behind the panels.
Does Concreate flooring work with underfloor heating systems?
Absolutely. Concreate flooring is an excellent conductor of heat, often performing better than wood or carpet. Its thermal mass allows it to retain warmth efficiently, distributing heat evenly across the room. It is fully compatible with both hydronic (water) and electric underfloor heating systems, making it a comfortable choice for modern, energy-efficient homes.
Can I install Concreate wall panels directly over existing drywall?
Yes, this is one of Concreate’s primary advantages. Because the wall panels are incredibly lightweight (approximately 1.3 lbs per sq. ft.) and thin (1/8”), they can be adhered directly to new or existing drywall, plywood, or concrete surfaces using our recommended adhesive. This eliminates the need for heavy structural reinforcements or demolition, allowing for rapid room transformations.
How durable is Concreate compared to poured concrete? Will it crack?
Concreate is engineered to be more durable and stable than traditional slabs. Poured concrete often cracks due to shrinkage during curing or foundation shifting. Concreate panels are factory-cured and fiber-reinforced, giving them flexibility and high tensile strength. This significantly reduces the risk of cracking while maintaining the hard-wearing surface necessary for high-traffic commercial and residential spaces.
Is Concreate an eco-friendly and sustainable material?
Concreate is a sustainable building material. It is air-cured, which consumes far less energy than kiln-fired tiles. The panels use biodegradable materials and lack the harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) often found in synthetic floorings. Additionally, its lightweight nature reduces the carbon footprint associated with shipping heavy construction materials.
How do I clean and maintain Concreate surfaces?
Maintenance is simple and similar to treating a hardwood floor. For daily cleaning, sweep or vacuum to remove dust. For mopping, use a pH-neutral cleaner (like Dr. Bronner’s diluted) or a specific wood/concrete floor soap. Periodically, the surface can be refreshed with maintenance oil to keep the patina rich and the seal intact. Avoid harsh bleaches or acidic cleaners that can strip the sealant.
How quickly can I use the room after installation?
Unlike poured concrete, which can take weeks to cure and dry, Concreate allows for immediate use. Once the adhesive has set (typically within 24 hours), the floor is ready for foot traffic. This rapid turnaround makes it the preferred choice for retail spaces, restaurants, and fast-paced home renovations.
Is Concreate heavy? Do I need structural reinforcement?
No. A typical poured concrete wall adds massive weight to a structure, often requiring reinforced footings. Concreate wall panels weigh only a fraction of a solid slab, allowing them to be installed on upper floors, lofts, and non-load-bearing walls without any structural modifications.
Can Concreate be used for furniture or joinery cladding?
Yes. Because the 1/8” wall panels are so thin and workable, they can be used to clad cabinetry, kitchen islands, doors, and furniture. This allows architects and designers to create monolithic “concrete” furniture pieces that would be impossible to move or build if they were solid cast concrete.
