Wall & surface
system coordination
Walls rarely live alone. We coordinate wall and surface systems across junctions, trades and sequencing—so build-ups, edges and transitions stay consistent on site and true to the design intent.
How we coordinate wall & surface systems
A wall finish is only as good as what it meets—ceilings, floors, joinery and adjacent materials. We resolve the surface package early—aligning build-ups, tolerances and responsibilities so the site team isn’t left guessing at corners, reveals and interfaces.
We coordinate the full wall and vertical surface scope—from plaster and mineral systems to textured finishes and specialist coatings—resolving key junctions, sequencing and protection so consistency holds at scale and the finish lands clean at handover.

Frequent Questions
001
001
At what stage of the project should we involve Space Affair?
The earlier, the better. We provide the most value during the design and planning phases. By reviewing your build-ups, junctions, and sequencing early, we ensure that the chosen seamless finishes remain buildable and durable across different trades.
002
002
Do you provide technical specifications for architects?
Yes. For every material system we offer—whether it’s Resistone microcement or Clayworks plaster—we provide full technical support, including buildup diagrams, substrate requirements, and data sheets (PDF). Our goal is to ensure the surface scope is fully integrated into your architectural drawings.
003
003
What is the difference between Clay Plaster and Clay Paint?
Clay Plaster is a thick, tactile material (available in Smooth, Demi-Rustic, and Rustic finishes) that regulates humidity and adds thermal mass to walls. Clay Paint (like Bauwerk Limewash) is a breathable, mineral-based coating that provides a unique, mottled aesthetic without the thickness of plaster. Both are 100% natural and VOC-free.
004
004
Can microcement be used in wet areas and bathrooms?
Absolutely. We use high-performance systems like Resistone and Forcrete, specifically engineered for wet environments. These systems are waterproof by nature (not just a top coating), making them ideal for seamless showers, floors, and vanity units where hygiene and durability are priority.
005
005
How do you manage the transitions between different materials?
Detailing junctions is our specialty. We coordinate with your site team to manage the "breaks" and transitions—where microcement meets timber flooring or clay meets cabinetry. Proper sequencing ensures these transitions are crisp, movement-tolerant, and aesthetically resolved.
006
006
Are your materials ecologically responsible?
Sustainability is core to our palette. We focus on mineral and natural-based systems. Our clay finishes from Costka and limewash from Bauwerk are non-toxic, breathable, and have a very low carbon footprint, contributing to a healthier indoor climate.
007
007
Do you offer a warranty on your surface systems?
Yes, we take end-to-end responsibility for our scope. As a family-led studio, we stay close to the work throughout the build and provide a clear warranty on both the material performance and the application, provided the substrates meet our technical requirements.
008
008
Can I order physical samples for my client presentation?
Yes. We believe seamless surfaces must be felt to be understood. You can request a bespoke sample pack through our contact form. We provide specific textures (Smooth/Rustic) and colour swatches to help you and your client make an informed decision.
