Clay Plaster Wall Finishes: Natural Clay Plaster Textures | Topcret
When designing interiors, walls are never just a backdrop — they shape how a space feels. Colour, light, texture, and above all, the finish of a wall determine the room’s identity. That’s why clay plaster finishes and textures are becoming a favourite among architects and homeowners.
With Clay® by Topcret, this historic material is reimagined for modern living. Offering four distinctive surface types, Clay® turns walls into refined design statements, blending the natural elegance of clay with durability, waterproofing, and sustainability.
Finish vs. Texture: What’s the Difference?
Although “finish” and “texture” are often used interchangeably, they describe different aspects of surface design:
Finish → the visual appearance of the surface and how it behaves with light.
Texture → the tactile quality and how depth and shadow enhance the wall.
Clay® unites both concepts through four exclusive surface options: Smooth, M, L, and XL.

2. M – Balanced Texture

3. L – Rich and Layered

4. XL – Bold and Rustic

Clay® Finishes in Action
What makes Clay® unique is that each finish or texture comes with modern performance that traditional plasters lack:
- 💧 Waterproof before sealing – thanks to Hydro+, Clay® is suitable for bathrooms and showers.
- ⚡ Durable as microcement – resistant to everyday wear.
- 🌿 Eco-friendly – VOC-free, solvent-free, and aligned with LEED, WELL, and BREEAM standards.
- 🎨 Design Freedom – over 60 colours, with custom tones available through the Paint-to-Sample program.
This means whether you choose Smooth, M, L, or XL, you’re not compromising between beauty and performance.

Designing with Colours and Textures
The impact of texture is amplified by colour. Smooth finishes paired with neutrals feel serene and minimal. Rustic XL textures in terracotta shades evoke Mediterranean authenticity. Layered textures with deep greens or purples create bold, artistic interiors.
