German Smear; Slurry Finish
The German Smear Slurry Finish is a visually captivating technique that has gained popularity in contemporary design. Originating in Germany, it adds a touch of flair to any space while maintaining a professional and refined appearance.
Our skilled artisans create the German Smear effect by applying a mortar slurry onto the surface of a wall using a variety of tools. This technique achieves a textured and partially covered look, creating a sense of weathering and rustic charm. The slurry settles into the mortar joints and crevices, allowing glimpses of the original surface to subtly show through. This adds depth and character to both interior and exterior applications.
The defining characteristic of the German Smear slurry finish is the way it partially covers the underlying brick, stone, or concrete surface, creating a distressed and weathered appearance.
