The secrets of interior decorating ↑
Palette of plasters «Marmorino», created by the famous Italian firm of San Marco, allows to obtain a variety of textured coatings. The video presents the features of applying this finishing material
Is it possible to create an imitation of antique wall? In the photo – version of this decoration. Currently, this method of plastering is also in demand as a quality equivalent to natural marble.
Plaster «Marmorino» was specifically developed to produce a coating which in its texture will be similar to the rough surface of natural stone. This mixture is suitable not only for repairs inside the building, but also for decoration of facades of various buildings. In the resulting coating structure has multiple layers, so the manufacturer offers buyers a set of textured plaster:
- The primer (primer) in the form of colourless substances;
- As the basic component of the proposed dry mixture;
- Translucent coating
All components of the proposed complex direct before use are diluted with water. The manufacturer provides specific instructions for amount of water needed for each component of the mixture. In the photo – the application of plaster of a kind «Marmorino».
In order to obtain the desired degree of color saturation, selected the combination of the glazing composition and special base.
Substrate preparation ↑
Before commencing plastering of wall, be sure the surface is properly prepared. As a base for plaster mix «Marmorino» you can use the classic plaster screed. To apply Italian plaster mix on a flat concrete or plaster surface.
The base should be smooth and even. So after applying Italian plaster mix to achieve the desired result, work should be carried out on dry base, at a temperature not below +10 degrees, humidity not more than 70 percent.
Once the base is sanded, it will remove dust, the surface is covered with primer. It needs to dry for a minimum of seven hours. Then with a trowel to the primed wall is applied an initial base coat, wait for complete solidification of the mixture. The second layer of plaster mixture is applied over the entire surface of the wall, to not have unsightly joints. Until the mixture is dry, it retains its plasticity, therefore, the coupler is formed a certain relief.
For application of textured plaster «Marmorino» you can use special cushions, a stiff brush, a metal sponge with a normal comb. In the video you can see the method of application of Italian plaster on the wall
After 15-20 minutes, begin smoothing screed, making a glossy surface.
