Granulation sizes, when dealing with natural plasters, are important because this is what makes your job easier. It’s important to understand that the fundamental properties and idea of FirmoLux™ is to maximize your ability to work with a product that is part of a system of products. To understand this “system”, you need to understand that our products are produced with granules of minerals and aggregates that are different sizes for each product in other words, our Marmorino Berlina™ has a granulation size of about 300 microns for all the minerals in that entire bucket, where a different product will have a different size granulation of minerals. Perhaps the finished result might have looked better if you had help from nature. Consequently, it makes your job harder, creates inefficiency and the end product is not what you set out to achieve. However, when you look at it, it just doesn’t seem to look right. You’ll find that it’s difficult to put the wrong shaped piece into another puzzle piece, but if you work at it sometimes it will fit. These products have some of the same materials you’ll find in our product but they also include vinyl polymers, acrylics, cement and other chemicals or fillers. Now consider products that are not designed naturally and have no “system or logic” and molecularly are not designed to work together and sometimes fight the process. Since they are all natural products, the puzzle pieces are made to be put together using the molecular similarity of the properties in the product which will enable you to put the puzzle together smoother & faster giving you the picture you want. Our primers and plasters are made to be used together, and there is a “system” or logic as to why and how they work so well.Ĭonsider each line of our plaster like a puzzle piece. This allows us to be a Green Building Product3 and environmentally friendly. FirmoLux™ is unique to the industry since it is a true, all natural Italian Lime Plaster with less than 2% resins. It is our goal to try and educate our customers so that using the FirmoLux™ system of application will make their experience with plasters more enjoyable and rewarding. Also, you will find that the cost will often be greater than real authentic Italian Lime Plaster. Faux Plaster will not age as gracefully, nor have the same redeeming attributes of plaster. In the end, it’s a product that does not have the design or natural traits that allow it to work for the applicator and ultimately, is not in the customer’s best interest. They use the same products used in Italian Lime Plaster but add synthetic materials to assist in making the product act and look like Italian Plaster. Why? Because that’s really what it is! These manufacturers are trying to improve upon nature. Modern Day Venetian Plaster (and just because it’s made it Italy doesn’t make it real) is a term used for many products that are supposed to “act” like plaster but should be called Faux 2 Venetian Plaster”. If you sold one of these buckets to an artisan living in Venice 200 years ago, they would dump the bucket into the canal along with the salesman that sold it to them. There are many companies that sell products under the label “Venetian Plaster.” There are many “so called” Venetian Plaster experts who really don’t know what real Lime Plasters are supposed to do and how they operate. ![]() Well you can also put white plaster in a white plastic bucket and call it “Venetian Plaster” but in most cases it isn’t. ![]() “You can paint white stripes on a black horse and call it a Zebra, but it’s still a horse,” or was it paint black stripes on a white horse…I could never get it straight! Modern day “Venetian Plaster” and we use that term loosely, means many different things to many different people. Today, there are a number misconceptions and ideas about Venetian Plaster.
