Concrete Effect with ClayBeton
Decorative plaster for a concrete effect — clay and cement based. A dry mix of white clay, marble and cement, mixed with water. One 4–8 mm layer gives a concrete or travertine stone surface: grey, matt, with living patches and soft transitions.
There is no need to rush — the mixed material stays workable for 2–3 hours. The base is light grey and can be toned to any of more than 120 MR. CLAY shades.
The materials are safe: the components are non-hazardous, the mix contains no volatile organic compounds, and its fire class is A1. It is alkaline, so gloves are worn during work. The details that decide the result are shown in our workshops.
Frequently asked questions
Do walls need priming before ClayBeton decorative plaster?
Yes, priming is essential — it is the priming that determines the quality of the final result, so please read all the recommendations HERE.
How many coats are needed and how long can I work?
ClayBeton is applied in a single 4–8 mm coat. Once mixed, it stays workable for 2–3 hours, so there is no need to rush.
What colours are available?
The base of the mix is light grey. The sample palette holds 19 shades, and you can tint it yourself with any of more than 120 MR. CLAY pigments.
Can I do it myself?
Yes. The process is not complicated, and once mixed the material stays workable for 2–3 hours. The result depends on a few details, so the concrete and travertine techniques are taught in module IV of the wall decorating workshops. If you want to try it at home, there is a kit with all the materials and a video guide.

A dry mix of white clay, marble and cement. Non-combustible — fire class A1. 100 % vapour permeable, with no volatile organic compounds. The mix is alkaline (pH 11.47), so wear protective gloves while working.
