Rough With The Smooth

A textured finish defined by the contrast between smooth and rough areas within a continuous surface.

Rough With The Smooth is characterised by the juxtaposition of refined and coarse textures applied across the wall. The surface is worked to create variation in texture, with areas of higher refinement set against more open, irregular sections.

The finish remains materially continuous, with contrast established through changes in surface condition rather than pattern or relief.

Customisation

This finish can be adjusted through the following parameters:

  • Distribution of smooth and rough areas
  • Degree of contrast between textures
  • Scale of surface variation
  • Colour (Clayworks colour range, colour matched, or bespoke colour)

This finish may be achieved using:

  • Clayworks Interior Clay Plaster
    • Demi Rustic
    • Rustic
  • Clayworks Exterior Finish
    • Demi Rustic
    • Rustic

Work with our Design Studio

We welcome conversations with architects and designers to explore ideas and develop finishes through sampling and specification. Our team is here to support the process from initial enquiry through to realised surface. Please get in touch to discuss your project.
