Description

Lime marmorino with a soft, semi-matte marble surface.

Where it works

Interior and exterior. Lime is alkaline enough to be self-disinfecting, so it resists mould where other finishes struggle. Fully breathable - it will not trap moisture in older masonry. Not for wet areas such as shower interiors.

How it goes on

Stainless steel trowel, ready to use - do not dilute. Lay the first coat to level the wall. Add a second only where the finish needs more build. As the material begins to set, compact and smooth it with the trowel to bring up the classic semi-flat marmorino face.

Primer

Primer RV.

Coverage

About 6 sq ft per kg, or 10 sq ft per litre.

  • 1 kg6 sq ft
  • 4.67 L48 sq ft
  • 14 L144 sq ft

Goes on undiluted, so these figures hold as supplied. Thinning stretches coverage but costs the body the trowel needs to burnish.

Sealing

No sealer required. For added protection: Arthe Cera Top or diluted Velatura for light duty, Velatura for medium, Intermedio K plus a 2K Protector for heavy.

Complete the system

Encausto Fiorentino: Venetian Plaster is a system, not a single tin. These are the products every job pairs with it, in the order they go on the wall.

Plan the job

How much will you need?

Pick your wall and its size - the calculator lists the whole system, this finish plus its primer and sealer, in the right amounts.

An estimate, not a quote. Real coverage moves with substrate, absorbency, technique and how many coats a colour actually needs. Tinted material is mixed to order and cannot be returned, so order the whole wall in one go, a top-up batch may not match. If it is a big job or an unusual substrate, call before you buy.
