Transforming a Vancouver Home with 5StarFinishes Concrete Look Coarse Grey Finish

A Seamless, Architectural Concrete Aesthetic—Without the Weight of Real Concrete

When a Vancouver homeowner set out to create a sophisticated, modern apartment featuring barn-yard doors and industrial influences, they turned to 5 Star Finishes and our Concrete Look Coarse Grey plaster. The goal: bring the striking, architectural presence of poured concrete into the bedroom and entryway—without the limitations, cracks, or cold feel of real concrete.

A Custom Concrete Look with Precision Joint Patterns

For this project, the homeowner envisioned a custom joint pattern mimicking the clean geometry of architectural concrete panels. Our team taped out a precise layout using laser levels and pinstriping tape, ensuring absolute accuracy in every line.

To create authentic tie holes, stickers were strategically placed between the first and second plaster layers. This technique produces subtle recesses that replicate the look of poured-in-place concrete—adding dimension and unmistakable realism.

The Power of the Concrete Look Coarse Grey Plaster

Our Concrete Look Course Grey plaster is engineered to produce an incredibly convincing concrete texture. Using our specialized Concrete Look Texturing Tool, we’re able to create depth, movement, and natural imperfections that look and feel like true concrete—yet the finish remains:

  • Seamless
  • Lightweight
  • Durable
  • Suitable for interiors and exteriors.

The result is a high-end, custom look that elevates any residential or commercial space.

Customizable to Your Design Vision

Every concrete-inspired finish can be tailored to your preferred style:

  • Joint widths can be wider or thinner
  • Tie holes can be subtle or deeply defined
  • Lines and patterns are completely customizable
  • Overall texture can be refined or more rugged depending on the desired mood.

This flexibility makes the Concrete Look Coarse Grey product ideal for modern, industrial, Scandinavian, and minimalist spaces.
