Finish

This texture features a raw, tactile surface with visible shuttering joint lines. It offers a matte, stony lustre that shifts subtly in natural UAE sunlight, emphasizing its industrial character.

Maintenance

Beso of Life is designed for low-maintenance longevity. For exterior surfaces, periodic low-pressure water rinsing is sufficient to remove dust. For interior applications, a soft damp cloth and PH-neutral cleaners are recommended. The self-curing cement base ensures the surface remains resilient against cracking and UV degradation, requiring minimal intervention over its lifecycle.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Beso of Life suitable for the UAE climate?
Our Beso of Life concrete facade cladding is formulated with a self-curing cement base specifically engineered to withstand the extreme heat and humidity of the UAE and GCC. Unlike traditional facade panel systems in Dubai, this 2-3mm thin-set application minimizes thermal expansion and contraction issues. The material is UV-stable and resistant to salt-air corrosion, making it an ideal choice for coastal developments. By utilizing our Jebel Ali facility's advanced manufacturing processes, we ensure every batch meets rigorous durability standards for architectural concrete.
Can this texture be applied over existing substrates?
Yes, the Beso of Life texture is highly versatile. Due to its lightweight 2-3mm thickness, it can be applied over most stable substrates, including cement plaster, gypsum board, and existing masonry, provided the surface is correctly primed. This makes it an excellent choice for both new builds and renovation projects where the look of heavy exterior concrete tiles is desired without the structural load requirements of traditional precast panels. Our technical team can provide specific substrate preparation guidelines for your project.
