Microcement and Paint: Cost-Saving for Large Areas

A large wall treated with special coating. The method is not to apply panels or stone, but rather on-site troweled microcement or artistic paint: the surface has subtle cloud-like variations in depth and trowel marks, with a matte, granular texture. Corners can be finished with a rounded edge, and there are absolutely no seams or trim strips. The cost is far lower than stone or woodworking, but because it is hand-applied, the quality depends on the craftsman—the image shows a well-executed state: the depth variations are delicate and uniform, with no obvious patches or joint lines. This wall contrasts with the adjacent sintered stone main wall, creating a rough and fine juxtaposition. Avoid: making the surface a uniform, unvarying flat paint, showing obvious joint lines or patches, using a high-gloss sealant, or adjusting the color to high saturation.

一面以特殊塗料處理的大牆。做法不是貼板材也不是石材,而是現場批塗的微水泥或藝術塗料:表面有細微的雲狀深淺變化與抹刀痕跡,質地是霧面帶顆粒的,轉角可以做圓弧收邊,而且完全沒有接縫與收邊條。成本遠低於石材與木作,但因為是手工施作,質感取決於師傅——畫面呈現的是做得好的狀態:深淺變化細膩而均勻,沒有明顯的補疤與接痕。這面牆與旁邊的岩板主牆形成粗與細的對比。避免:把表面做成均勻無變化的平塗、出現明顯的接痕與補疤、使用高光的封層、把顏色調成高彩度。
