Faux Ceiling Finish at L’Express Restaurant – Montreal

Les Créations Jean Pronovost, experts in faux finishes with over 25 years of experience, completed a painted faux ceiling project at L’Express, an iconic Montreal brasserie, in 2025.

During the renovation, the goal was to recreate the aged appearance of the original ceiling, with its warm burnt-orange patina. Using advanced faux finish techniques and multiple layers of transparent glaze, a realistic and long-lasting aged effect was achieved.

This decorative faux finish preserves the character of the space while providing a custom, aesthetic solution. The final result: a textured, authentic ceiling perfectly integrated into the restaurant’s atmosphere.
