About By Bjorn

Lava Paint

What is Lava Paint?
Lava Paint is a ready-to-use decorative paint with a subtle texture and a bold, natural appearance.
It allows you to easily create a luxurious concrete look without the complexity of Beton Ciré.

Why choose Lava Paint?

Super easy to apply yourself
No complicated techniques required
Creates an atmospheric and dynamic finish instantly
Suitable for almost any interior wall

Perfect for anyone who wants to create a unique wall quickly and effortlessly.
How thick is Lava Paint?
When applied in two coats, Lava Paint has an average thickness of approximately 1 mm. The exact thickness may vary slightly depending on the application method and the desired textured effect.
Where can Lava Paint be applied?
Lava Paint is suitable for walls, ceilings and furniture, such as cabinets, tables, kitchen cabinets and more. It can be used in living rooms, kitchens, hallways, toilets and bedrooms, both indoors and outdoors.

Lava Paint can also be used in bathrooms, with the exception of wet shower areas.
What surfaces can Lava Paint be applied to?
For the best results, it is important to have a smooth and dry surface. Lava Paint works best on properly prepared walls and ceilings.

Suitable surfaces include fresh plaster, plasterboard and existing paintwork. Wood and steel can also be finished with Lava Paint, provided they are properly prepared beforehand.

Do you have a wallpapered wall? That is also possible, as long as the wallpaper is paintable, such as renovation wallpaper or fibreglass wallpaper.

Not sure whether your surface is suitable? Feel free to contact us. We’ll be happy to take a look and provide honest advice.
Can I apply Lava Paint myself?
Yes. Lava Paint is easy to apply yourself using a block brush. You don’t need any specialist knowledge or complicated techniques. Your order includes a clear step-by-step guide.
Do I Need a Primer?
For absorbent surfaces, a primer is essential to ensure good adhesion and achieve the best possible finish. This includes freshly plastered walls and other porous surfaces.
Is een coating altijd nodig?
Nee, een coating is niet verplicht. Wel kun je ervoor kiezen om een coating aan te brengen om de wand extra onderhoudsvriendelijk en beter beschermd te maken.
In ruimtes zoals een toilet of badkamer adviseren wij altijd een coatinglaag voor extra bescherming tegen vocht en vervuiling.
Is a Protective Coating Always Necessary?
In most cases, the application consists of one primer coat followed by two coats of Lava Paint. This is clearly explained in the instruction guide.
Are Colour Variations Possible?
Yes. Lava Paint is a textured product with a cloudy effect. Subtle variations and colour differences are part of the character of the finish and make every wall unique.
Does Lava Paint go well with a lava stone poured floor?
Yes. Lava Paint was developed as a wall finish that perfectly complements the look of lava stone poured floors.
What is the coverage of our Lava Paint?
Our Lava Paint has a coverage of approximately 3.5 m² per kg for two coats, with around 10% water dilution and on a smooth surface.

Please note that this is a guideline. Actual coverage may vary depending on factors such as the absorbency and texture of the surface, as well as the application method.
How do I maintain Lava Paint?
Lava Paint is surprisingly easy to maintain and stays beautiful for a long time with minimal effort.

How to keep your wall in top condition:

Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth
Do not use aggressive cleaning products
Carefully remove stains as soon as possible
Avoid sanding or using hard brushes

Good to know:
With the right finish, such as a protective coating, Lava Paint is even better protected against dirt and stains.
Is Lava Paint Waterproof?
Yes, Lava Paint is waterproof.

For long-term use in damp areas, such as bathrooms, toilets or outdoor applications, we recommend applying two coats of protective coating to the wall.

Why apply a protective coating?

Extra protection against moisture and dirt
Improved long-term durability
Ideal for frequently used or wet areas

This keeps your wall looking beautiful while providing optimal protection.
Is Lava Paint Prone to Cracking?
Yes, Lava Paint can develop cracks. As Lava Paint is a mineral and relatively hard finishing system, it can be susceptible to cracking if the surface is not completely stable or if movement occurs in the substrate.

Proper surface preparation and professional application can significantly reduce the risk of cracking. However, there is always a risk of cracking, which is why this is not covered by our warranty.
