Fine Lime Paste or Marmorino, Plaster and Limewash for Walls or Ceilings

Marius Aurenti lime is a mineral material whose timeless nobility lies in its ability to let walls breathe and in the depth of its mineral pigments.

It is available as a fine lime paste for fine plasters, brushed lime finishes and limewashes, as well as in the form of Marmorino, a plaster with countless marble asperities, for interior and exterior walls.

It is applied over an adhesion primer for lime, suitable for both interior and exterior use, designed to prepare substrates before applying lime paste or Marmorino.

On old buildings or HQE constructions, lime plaster allows walls to breathe through gaseous exchanges. This natural ventilation regulates humidity and improves air quality.

Use of Lime Paste

Application of Lime Paste

  • Can be smoothed or stuccoed with a metal trowel
  • Can be brushed with a spalter brush
  • Can be applied as a limewash

Substrate

The primer for lime paste and Marmorino can be applied to the following substrates:

  • New and old wall plasters based on hydraulic binder
  • Concrete walls
  • Plasterboard walls
  • Existing organic or mineral paints and coatings
  • Substrates must be clean, sound and dry — free from oil or grease stains

Lime paste and Marmorino are then applied over this primer.

Wax Finish

They can finally receive a wall wax finish for lime: a blend of synthetic resins and wax in emulsion. All details are available in the technical data sheets. Order your samples and colour charts from the Material Library.

What is limewash?

What are the advantages of a lime wall?

A lime wall has many advantages:

  • it has a beautiful appearance and can be tinted according to taste — Marius Aurenti offers it in 56 shades
  • it allows the interior space to “breathe” thanks to its micropores
  • it therefore acts as a humidity regulator
  • it acts as a sanitising agent, preventing micro-organisms from developing and damaging the wall
  • it is strong and durable
  • a lime wall is a good thermal and acoustic insulator
  • outdoors, lime plaster protects the wall from bad weather
  • used since Antiquity, it is a reliable construction material, rooted in tradition
