Description
Matese is a natural lime and marble polished plaster with the rich lustre of antique bronze. The unique surface finish is inspired by the natural, coarse texture of travertine stone combined with the sophistication of Wenge hardwood. It is a deeply textured, mid-sheen finish with a horizontal pattern for use on interior walls.
It is water vapour-permeable and is suitable for traditional plastered masonry, including historic buildings.
It comes with Eco Pearl applied as standard for increased protection against soiling.
It is also available to be used as a system with Armourcoat® AntiCrack reinforced gypsum skim coat. Please see specification data for more details.
