The style of architectural concrete;
the freedom of concrete overlay
Lightweight concrete overlays mimic the beauty of architectural concrete
Distinct Interiors creates the luxurious look of architectural concrete without the weight- giving you all of the style, with non of the design restrictions typically associated with a concrete installation.
Our hand-applied, ultra-thin, concrete overlays deliver the look and feel of the concrete with the design freedom of a decorative finishing technique - opening up a world of possibilities. In the hands of our artisans, walls, fireplace surrounds, and backsplashes are transformed into concrete works of art that last a lifetime.
Our works appears in commercial spaces such as restaurants, hotels, offices and stores- and in homes across the country - anywhere clients desire an eye-catching aesthetic with a strong durable surface.
Let’s get started
Ultra-light vertical concrete overlays create one-of-a-kind feature walls, fireplace surrounds
The ultra-light weight of our seamless concrete overlays allow us to create striking features- like multi-story accent walls and floor-to-ceiling fireplace surrounds- for residential and commercial clients. Our vertical concrete overlays mimic the look and texture of architectural concrete, but without the volume of material, weight or structural concretes.
Of course, decorative concrete overlays aren’t just for walls, we can apply them to reception desks, columns, and bulkheads- virtually anywhere a decorative plaster can be applied. Versatile overlays can be sealed for use anywhere water or straining is an issue: countertops, backsplashes and range hoods in kitchens and bathrooms.
Our decorative concrete overlays are unique statement pieces that will last a lifetime
Each project is unique, handcrafted statement piece created on-site. Distinct Interiors combines Old World craftsmanship with modern materials, applying our own concrete mix developed over more than a decade, to create a durable, non-combustible, water-resistant finish that is as strong as stone. Handcrafted, along with natural variations in the concrete, gives the overlay depth, texture and pattern that adds interest wherever it is used.
Finishes are available in a range of styles, from elegant, polished concrete, to an industrial aesthetic, to a warm, rustic appearance. You can choose from one of five standard finishes, (see our project gallery for examples), or we can create a custom finish to your project specifications. Custom overlays can be matched to virtually any paint reference or Pantone colour for dramatic effect.
