Get a free consultationWhat is mineral polished concrete?
Mineral polished concrete (known in Europe as béton ciré minéral) is a thin, seamless decorative coating made from real cement, mineral pigments. Applied over existing substrates, it creates a continuous jointless surface on floors, walls, benchtops and furniture.
Unlike resin or epoxy coatings that merely imitate concrete, mineral polished concrete is a genuine stone-based material. It breathes, ages gracefully and develops a subtle patina over time, the hallmark of authentic mineral craftsmanship.
AdLucem® LucemChoc is a premium mineral polished concrete formulated and manufactured in our workshops in the Drôme Valley, France. With over 90 colourways and 11 texture effects, it offers unmatched creative freedom for residential and commercial projects in Sydney and across Australia.
