Description

Volsini is a natural lime and marble polished plaster with juxtaposing textures in horizontal stripes. The fine base texture emulates striated silk whilst a bolder, ribbed texture is superimposed in varying width stripes to add contrast and play with the light differently.

It is water vapour-permeable and as such 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.
