Dottinado

Have you ever wondered at the beautiful colors of Tuscany or old Spain? These are the natural earth colors in their original crystalline form that create such vibrant hues and textures. They show the hand that applied them by subtle variations in color, texture and sheen. This is what you get with marmorino plaster. The marble dust in the plaster polishes out to a sheen if you want it, matte if you leave it alone. This plaster can be used in kitchens, bathrooms, exteriors, anywhere because it is not a faux finish. It is the modern version of an ancient polished plaster and in a formula that is suprisingly easy to apply with only a few hours of instruction.

Antico

Antico is a fine marmorino similiar to the Moroccan Tadlac plaster in that it is very dense and stone-like when applied smoothly. Beside marble flour, it is also made with dolomitic limestone which makes the plaster extremely hard and dense. It shows the grain pattern of the installation technique similiar to marmorino but has the cool smoothness of veneciano when dry.
