MATERIAL GALLERY

See how the material belongs in different spaces.

Residential, commercial, hospitality and bathroom concepts alongside real projects. Thoughtful negative space allows the surface to become part of everyday life.

MATERIAL CHARACTER

More than decoration,
a starting point for spatial experience.

01

Pure and consistent colour

A quiet, continuous wall in one consistent colour, without gradients or imitation stone patterns.

02

Mineral touch

Fine mineral particles and hand application give the wall a natural, tactile finish.

03

For walls only

A wall renovation system using a dedicated primer and standardised application process.

APPLICATION

Applications

01Architectural entrances
02Art walls
03Premium residences
04Commercial displays

MARKET PAIN POINTS

Real project challenges.
A new perspective on material value.

SHINKA considers installation, labour, renovation disruption and long-term maintenance alongside the surface itself.

01

Complex microcement processes

The challenge

Multiple layers and variable workmanship can extend installation time.

The SHINKA approach

Approx. 3–4 standardised stages support a manageable wall installation process.

02

Coarse stone-effect coatings

The challenge

Strong aggregate effects can limit interior refinement and cleaning convenience.

The SHINKA approach

A fine mineral touch in a single colour gives walls a calm, refined character.

03

Renovating old walls

The challenge

Removing tiles or old coatings is costly and disruptive.

The SHINKA approach

Direct overlay may be considered after substrate assessment with the dedicated primer.

MATERIAL COMPARISON

Comparing common materials

There is no single right material. These comparisons cover form, design, installation, maintenance and applications. Results depend on the substrate, design, team and site conditions.

ConsiderationSHINKA Liquid RockCommon materials / methods
Versus standard paintAdds a fine mineral touch alongside colourEfficient colour changes, broad palettes and easy recoating
Versus microcementConsistent colour and a streamlined wall processMore pronounced hand-trowelled marks and layering
Versus tiled wallsOverlay subject to assessment; fewer dividing linesEstablished water resistance, clear modules and replaceable units
Repair approachLocal repairs possible; match colour and texture carefullyPaint can be recoated; tiles require matching spare stock
Best suited toSolid colour, mineral touch and continuous wallsPaint for quick colour changes; tiles for wet and modular areas

RENOVATION DECISION GUIDE

A third approach to wall renovation

Walls cannot use self-levelling floor materials. Alongside replacement and repainting, Liquid Rock offers a mineral composite approach to overlay, texture and durability.

01 / Full renewal

Demolish and rebuild

Main steps
  1. Remove existing finish
  2. Dispose of waste and repair substrate
  3. Rebuild waterproofing or base layers
  4. Install and finish new materials
Key considerations
  • High dust, noise and time demands
  • May affect waterproofing, pipes and adjoining finishes
  • High waste and labour demands
02 / Quick colour change

Standard repainting

Main steps
  1. Clean and fill
  2. Local sanding
  3. Primer
  4. Apply finish paint
Key considerations
  • Primarily changes colour, with limited mineral texture
  • Old tile joints or substrate defects may remain visible
  • Wear, water and stain resistance depend on the coating system
03 / Mineral wall system

SHINKA Liquid Rock

Main steps
  1. Diagnose and strengthen substrate
  2. Seal with dedicated primer
  3. Apply Liquid Rock in layers
  4. Refine the hand-applied texture
  5. Curing and protection system
Key considerations
  • A complete system, rather than a simple colour change
  • Address cracks, hollow areas and moisture sources first
  • Confirm colour and touch with approved samples

Each method suits different project conditions. Consider budget, timing, substrate, future maintenance and design goals together.

VALUE / 2026 MATERIAL

Simple design. Informed decisions.

New materials should support design quality, installation efficiency, occupant wellbeing and long-term operation.

01

Aesthetic balance

Quiet colour at a distance; mineral texture when you come closer.

02

Renovation efficiency

Overlay options for different substrates can reduce demolition.

03

Maintenance flexibility

Plan local repairs and routine cleaning as part of long-term care.
