Discover the versatility and beauty of Barestone

Neutrals have had a place in our homes and workspaces for a long time. With a spectrum of whites, greys, creams and beiges to choose from, these versatile colours offer plenty of room for creativity.

Increasingly, bolder tones and textural elements are experiencing a revival, and architects and designers are looking to incorporate darker, more dramatic neutrals in their facades and interiors. That’s where Cemintel Barestone comes in. Featuring four distinct colourways, Barestone prefinished panels are adding depth and drama to the Australian built environment.

Barestone is a fibre cement cladding solution that evokes the look of concrete. Bold yet refined, these prefinished panels are defined by their natural styles and smooth, mottled surfaces. No two panels are exactly the same: subtle variations in the colours and the mottled patterns only enhance their unique looks.

Barestone’s “perfectly imperfect” appearance seamlessly integrates with the environment and easily adapts to a range of modern styles. Barestone comes in four striking colours: Original, a smooth, light concrete tone; Ash, a darker grey with an ashy hue and a soothing texture; Lunar, a cool, saturated charcoal grey with dark undertones; and Graphite, a dark, warm, deep grey with a true black undertone.

Barestone colours simultaneously harmonize with their surroundings and draw the eye. And – because the panels can be cut into different shapes, used horizontally or vertically, and installed internally and externally – the design possibilities abound.

We all want our spaces to look beautiful, but they also need to stand the test of time. Barestone delivers on both aesthetics and functionality.

Not only can Barestone panels be used to create stunning exteriors – especially in a mixed-facade solution with materials including concrete, timber, brick, stone or AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) such as Hebel – they also withstand even the toughest climatic conditions. cemintel.com.au/barestone
