🔍 Why Choose Lime-Based Plaster?

  • Breathability & humidity control — Lime allows walls to breathe, reducing mould and dampness.

  • Eco-friendly & legacy — Made of natural minerals and free from harmful chemicals.

  • Aging beautifully — Over time, lime reabsorbs carbon dioxide, becoming stronger.

  • Versatility — Finish from smooth matte to satin polish, depending on technique and tool.

🎯 Application Tips & Highlights

  1. Surface prep & priming: make sure substrate is clean, stable, and primed (use Fissacrill/appropriate primer).

  2. Layering: apply in thin coats (1-3 mm), allowing enough time between each coat.

  3. Tool selection matters: use proper trowels or spatulas to avoid lines — see our Tools Collection.

  4. Finishing: polish or burnish gently for satin/soft sheen, or leave more matte for subtle texture.

  5. Colour & variation: natural variation is part of the charm. If precise match is critical, always test first with a small sample or tester pot.

FAQ Section

❓ What is the difference between Volare, Infinito, Infinito Carrara, and Riflesso?

Each lime-based plaster offers a unique texture and finish:

  • Volare – a medium-grain Marmorino ideal for smooth, natural satin finishes.

  • Infinito – a coarser texture that adds depth and movement for statement walls.

  • Infinito Carrara – inspired by Carrara marble, offering subtle veining and elegant stone-like effects.

  • Riflesso – a fine Marmorino polished plaster that achieves a high-gloss, mirror-like surface.

❓ What makes lime-based plaster different from synthetic alternatives?

Lime-based plasters are made from natural lime and marble dust, making them breathable, eco-friendly, and VOC-free. They regulate humidity, resist mould, and actually strengthen over time as they reabsorb carbon dioxide.

❓ Can lime-based Venetian plaster be used in bathrooms?

Yes — many lime plasters can be used in bathrooms and kitchens if sealed properly with a protective wax or sealer, like those found in our Waxes & Sealers Collection. Just not recommended in the shower area.

❓ Which lime-based plaster gives a polished or marble-like effect?

For a high-gloss or marble-like finish, choose Riflesso or Infinito Carrara. Both can be burnished to a refined shine, offering a luxurious and authentic Venetian appearance.

❓ Do lime plasters need to be sealed?

While lime-based plasters naturally resist moisture, sealing with wax or a breathable sealer enhances durability, makes cleaning easier, and deepens the final finish.
