Thanks Bro. Will do it soon, still have couple of things not done yet. I'm putting a scissors grille inside my unit, hopefully can be done. This is my lousy drawing just to have an idea....hahaha

Scissor grill is nice choice. Make sure get the thick metal version like the old coffee shop type, i saw many are very flimsy and thin and is mainly for show not for prevention.

Well done! very nice wall and lighting effects thumbsup.gif

If you don't mind, can you share:
1. plaster ceiling (i guess) and light you using
2. lighting for the opposite wall or the lighting for the hall.

Thank you. rclxms.gif

I'm keeping tabs on this. Even the retractable gate is something I intend to incorporate in near future. Keep it coming ...

Searching around for faux concrete slab or artisan cement effect wall finished but was put off by high prices, faux concrete slab can cost as much as RM40.00+ psf while artisan cement effect wall cost around RM14.00 psf.

Had a long discussion with contractor and we agreed to remove existing paint to see what's underneath, both were surprised the precast concrete looks good so decided to bring out its natural beauty. After paint removed, we sand it even then painted it with a waterproof sealant to prevent cement dust, drew some lines to bring out the effect too. Renovation still going on and these are the pix I have for now.

Those aiming to achieve this kinda feature wall, perhaps can check if your desire wall are using the precast concrete.

Next to this wall is my neighbor, our level all quadrant unit. If walls happened to be bricks then have to skim a layer of cement but effect wise won't be this rugged. The current sealant is the regular waterproofing solution use for bathrooms, it's not glossy, did told my contractor I don't want it glossy, keep it natural.

Which sealant brand u use? My ID is going to lay raw cement on the wall and he didnt ask me to put the sealant on it. Should I? Please advise. And if I put sealant over the raw cement, what will the after effect look like? will it still retain the natural feel of the cement concrete wall?

I don't remember the brand, just go to shop that's selling tiles and tell them you need waterproof sealant for bathroom. Without sealant, your raw cement will release dust, if your contractor don't have the experience then I'll guess you need to find someone else.
