Natural Clay Plasters
Our natural clay plasters provide sustainable wall finishes that regulate humidity and improve indoor air quality. Formulated with reclaimed materials, these plasters offer breathability while maintaining structural integrity. Available in multiple textures and 239 color options, they create unique surfaces that enhance both residential and commercial spaces through natural aesthetics and functional performance.
Color Pigment Systems
Our color pigment system enables precise customization of plaster finishes using natural oxides and ochres. Pre-measured packs ensure consistent color application across different plaster types. The 239 standard options and blended color capabilities allow for complete design flexibility while maintaining UV resistance and environmental safety in both residential and commercial applications.
Lime Putty Additive
This high-calcium lime putty enhances plaster durability and workability when mixed or applied as a surface treatment. It increases coverage by 10% while creating harder, more water-resistant finishes. Professional installers use it to achieve specialized effects in kitchen backsplashes and bathroom applications where enhanced performance characteristics are required for commercial and residential projects.
Primer Solutions
Our primer systems with sand additive create optimal surface texture for plaster adhesion. Compatible with both conventional and zero-VOC formulas, these primers prepare various substrates while maintaining environmental standards. The approved primer list includes multiple brand options that meet different project requirements for residential and commercial applications.
Textural Additives
Natural additives like mica and straw create distinctive visual and tactile effects in finished plaster surfaces. Mica adds reflective sparkle while straw produces earthy textures similar to traditional adobe. These options allow customization of surface appearance across different plaster lines while maintaining the material's inherent sustainability and performance characteristics.
