Smooth + Holes
the surface that breathes
A clean cast face, broken by a precise grid of openings. Smooth + Holes takes the calm of a flat concrete surface and adds rhythm, shadow and a sense of depth you can see straight through. It is the texture chosen when a wall should divide a space without closing it off. Manufactured in Italy, fire-rated, and ready to install as easily as tile.

Most walls draw a hard line between one space and the next. Smooth + Holes does something rarer - it separates without sealing off. A precise grid of openings turns a solid concrete panel into a screen, carrying daylight, glimpses and air from one side to the other. Structure and openness in a single surface.
Solid where it counts. Open where it matters.
Concrete that lets light through.
A flat wall holds light. A perforated one performs with it. As the sun shifts, the grid of openings casts a pattern that travels slowly across the floor and the surrounding surfaces. Smooth + Holes is never quite the same wall twice - quiet at noon, dramatic at golden hour, alive in a way solid concrete cannot be.
Shadow that moves through the day.
Smooth + Holes, your questions answered
The openings turn a wall into something a solid wall can never be - a divider that still connects. Smooth + Holes separates a kitchen from a hallway, a stair from a lounge, without sealing one off from the other. Light, sightlines and air keep moving; only the function of the space changes.
Yes. The grid is engineered, not cut at random - each opening is positioned so the fiber-mesh-reinforced concrete keeps its strength across the full panel. You get the openness of a screen with the solidity and permanence of real cast concrete.
This is where the panel earns its place. As the sun moves, the openings project a grid of light and shadow that travels across the floor and nearby walls through the day. At noon it is crisp and graphic; at golden hour it stretches long and warm. The wall effectively performs with the daylight.
Partially - and that is the intent. The perforation gives filtered visibility: enough to sense movement, depth and light on the other side, not enough to fully expose it. It is privacy and connection at the same time, tuned by how the panels are lit from each side.
Room dividers, stair screens, entryway partitions, feature walls that need to feel lighter than solid concrete, and commercial spaces where zones must read as separate without being closed. It is most striking wherever there is daylight or directional lighting to drive through the openings.
Each panel is 2 ft x 4 ft (610 x 1220 mm) at 3/8 in (10 mm) thick, installed like a large-format tile onto a prepared substrate. Because the perforation forms a continuous grid, panels are aligned so the pattern runs unbroken across the wall. A full installation guide is supplied as a downloadable PDF.
Yes - real concrete reinforced with fiber mesh, carrying a Class A fire rating up to 2 hours, with documentation provided per order. And we recommend sampling it: the play of light through the openings is hard to picture on a screen. Request a physical Smooth + Holes sample, then add the panel to your request when you are ready for a quote.
See Smooth + Holes in your own space.
Smooth + Holes works through the openings - the way light, shadow and sightlines move across the grid. That is the one thing a screen cannot show. Order a physical sample, set it against your own wall, and see how the perforation reads in your space and your light before committing to a full installation.
Smooth + Holes is one of five, concrete textures.
Smooth + Holes is the one face that lets light through. The other four stay solid - the calm cast Smooth, broad and fine ribs, hand-hewn crests. One material, read five different ways.
