Off-Shutter Concrete Finish FAQs

What is an off-shutter concrete finish?

It is the exposed concrete surface left after the shuttering (formwork) is removed from cast concrete. The term is also used for decorative finishes that recreate that raw concrete look on existing walls, ceilings and other surfaces.

Can I get an off-shutter look on an existing brick or plastered wall?

In most cases, yes. A decorative cement-based finish can be applied over a sound, properly prepared wall to create the look of off-shutter concrete without casting new concrete.

Is an off-shutter concrete finish suitable for exterior walls?

It can be, provided the wall is sound and the right products and sealer are used for outdoor exposure. Coastal and very exposed walls may need extra attention, so we advise on this once we have seen the site.
