Polished plaster finishes originate from early Venetian times, when
highly skilled craftsmen learned to transform a lime and marble ‘putty’
into a surface which had the appearance of polished marble. ARTENOVA
have developed a range of modern products combining these skills with
current technology, to include waterproof surfaces suitable for bathrooms
and kitchens. A variety of colours and textures are available to add a
distinctive decorative edge to any room in the home (or workplace).

VENEZIANO of ARTENOVA is today’s expression of research
based on culture, experience and tradition. STUCCO VENEZIANO innovatively renews all the chromatic and aesthetic emotions which
have been handed on by the master decorators of the Serenissima
Republic of Venice.
STUCCO VENEZIANO of ARTENOVA is a self-polishing spatuled
covering, free from oils and paraffin waxes. It is ideal for protecting
and decorating internal and external wall surfaces over civil plaster
works, vibrated concrete, chalk smoothing, chalk coated millboard,
wood, etc. Soft and mellow, it can be applied indifferently with
a stainless steel trowel or spatula, depending on the desired final
effect. The suppleness of the material, combined with simplicity
and speed of application, make it “unique” in the wide panorama
of decorative stuccoes. The surface is washable with water and detergent,
or water and ammonia. STUCCO VENEZIANO is available in white
and neutral in cans of 15, 5 and 2.5 litres, and can be coloured
with the wide range of ARTECOLOR pastes. It can also be coloured
with the multipurpose colorants UNIVERSAL COLOR, types WL and with
tinting machines.
The particular composition of STUCCO VENEZIANO together with
various application cycles enables the user to obtain many different
tones, shades and transparencies - all of them highly decorative. |

MARMORINO represents ARTENOVA line`s formulations of one
of Italy`s traditional Italian stone-substitute applications, comprising
slaked lime, filtered of any impurities, and crushed marble. It
trowels to a smooth, perfect finish that lets you see but not touch
the applicator`s strokes.
MARMORINO of the ARTENOVA line is a medium-build mineral
covering trowelled to give satin-finished, marbling effect of remarkable
smoothness and evenness. It provides protection to properly prepared
interior conventional palsterwork, pre-cast concrete, gypsum plaster
and plasterboard, as well as exterior lime plaster. Thick and dense,
it is worked using a stainless steel trowel in several passes to
obtain a uniformly compact surface. Thanks to its excellent filling
power and long-term chemical stability/immunity to deterioration,
it neither cracks nor crumbles. It is also unaffected by rain or
frost and exhibits excellent permeability, preserving the ability
of the substrate to breathe.
MARMORINO is already formulated in 30 fully compatible colours
from the ARTECOLOR range. The product can also be custom-tinted
with the LE TERRE earth pigments, or with the multi-purpose UNIVERSAL
COLOR range in the alkali-proof, WF-oxide version.
The granular composition of the fine marble flour, coupled with
the thoroughly matured slaked lime, produce outstanding decorative
effects and depths of colour which can be further enhanced, on interior
surfaces, by waxing. |

TRAVERTINO is ARTENOWA line’s way of unveiling today the
secrets of the reconstituted stone and marble techniques closely-guarded
by the Italian Master Masons for centuries. In this case, the stucco
reproduces the typical, pock-marked effects of Travertino, a stone
found around Tivoli.
TRAVERTINO of the ARTENOVA line is a medium-build mineral
covering trowelled to give a satin-finished, pock-marked effect
of remarkable smoothness and evenness. It is ideally suited for
the protection and decoration of properly-prepared interior surfaces
in conventional plasterwork, pre-cast concrete, gypsum plaster and
plasterboard, as well as exterior lime plaster. Thick and dense,
it is worked using a stainless steel trowel in two passes and then
pressed to obtain a uniformly compact surface; while setting, the
surface is them lightly scraped to achieve the pock-marked effect
typical of this stone. Thanks to its mineral binders, TRAVERTINO exhibits excellent vapour permeability, which allows the plasterwork
to breathe, and thus keeps it from deteriorating and crumbling.
Supplied in 15 litre size containers, TRAVERTINO is available
in standard white and is already formulated in 30 fully-compatible
colours from the ARTECOLOR range. The product can also be custom-tinted
with the “LE TERRE” earth pigments, or with the multi-purpose UNIVERSAL
