The material

Give the architecture a natural edge.

INCISE Cemwash is a cement-based decorative mineral coating that gives walls colour and texture in one considered finish. Its natural pigment tones and hand-applied character bring depth to a surface, whether the look is quietly refined or richly expressive.

Carry a calm mineral palette through an interior, add presence to a façade or create a feature wall with a tactile finish. Designed for indoor and outdoor use, Cemwash pairs high-end aesthetics with the durability and washable care needed in real spaces.

Surface depth & architectural detail

Let the texture do the talking.

Fine texture catches the light quietly. A more pronounced finish creates shadow and depth. Linear marks, layered movement and textured effects give Cemwash a range of expressions that can feel rustic, contemporary or softly architectural.

Choose a restrained finish for a calm interior or stronger texture to give an exterior wall definition. Colour and application technique work together, with an approved sample panel setting the direction for your space.

Beyond the visible

A lasting finish starts with a sound foundation.

Cemwash brings its colour and texture to life through preparation and application. A suitable substrate, controlled finishing technique and the specified protective sealer help the surface perform in its setting.

01

Assess & prepare

Assess the wall, repair suitable defects and prepare a clean, sound substrate. Address moisture issues and confirm preparation, priming and detailing requirements for interior or exterior exposure.

02

Apply & create texture

Apply the specified Cemwash layers and work the surface to create the approved texture. Keep the colour, application direction and level of movement consistent with the sample panel.

03

Cure, seal & care

Allow the coating to cure and apply the specified protective sealer. Confirm the cleaning routine and maintenance requirements for the texture, location and exposure before the wall enters use.

Colour & texture

Colour that feels at home.

Warm whites. Soft greys. Earthy neutrals and richer natural tones. Cemwash colours sit comfortably beside timber, stone and planting, bringing a grounded appearance to both modern and more expressive architecture.

Pair the shade with the texture that suits your setting. A lighter tone can soften a pronounced pattern; a deeper colour can bring out its shadow and detail. Review a physical sample in the light where the finish will live.

Questions worth asking

Before you choose your textured finish.

What is INCISE Cemwash?

INCISE Cemwash is a textured microcement and cement-based mineral coating for indoor and outdoor walls. It combines natural pigment colour, hand-applied texture and a high-end decorative appearance.

Can Cemwash be used indoors and outdoors?

Yes. Cemwash can be specified for interior walls, exterior façades, courtyards and architectural details. Preparation, application and protective sealing should suit the substrate and the exposure of the finished wall.

Which textures can I create?

Cemwash supports a range of textures, from fine and restrained surfaces to layered, linear and more expressive finishes. The selected technique and colour determine the effect. Approve a sample panel before application.

Is Cemwash durable and washable?

Yes. Cemwash is designed to provide a durable, washable wall finish with the specified protective system. Follow the cleaning guidance for the texture and sealer, using suitable gentle products and avoiding abrasive tools or aggressive chemicals.

Can I choose natural colours?

Yes. Cemwash is available in a wide range of natural pigment colours. Discuss the tone and texture together, then confirm the appearance on a physical sample under the lighting conditions of your project.

Can Cemwash be applied to existing walls?

Suitable existing masonry or plastered walls can be considered after assessment and preparation. The base must be sound and correctly prepared; resolve defects, dampness and incompatible coatings before applying the decorative system.
