Marblestone
Lime-based mineral "stone" finish
General Features
MARBLESTONE limebased finishing plaster coat, is formulated in the whole respect of traditional and historical "recipes" and therefore contains well seasoned hydrated lime putty, fine marble powder, colouring oxides and earths, linseed oil and rheologic modifiers, which guarantee a perfect workability of the product.
MARBLESTONE creates aesthetic cloudy effects, with soft and vibrant shades. The thickness of the product applied builds up a long-lasting and durable protection.
The high alkalinity degree typical of lime and a good pemeability rate make of MARBLESTONE a perfect natural antimould agent.
Texture
MARBLESTONE is soft and velvet-like (imitating marble when polished with an inox trowel)
Uses
Finishing coat of exterior facades in historical town and country settings, in respect of the historical heritage of the surrounding enviroment.
Decorative interior finishing coat.
Natural lime plasters represent MARBLESTONE's most suitable substrate, since the product reacts chemically with them, building up a unique "body" able to preserve this lime coating for a longer period of time.
Following the correct instructions about surface preparation MARBLESTONE may also be applied over:
- Lime and Cement Mortars
- Premixed renderings
- Pre-existing lime and gypsum plasters
- Moisture-permeable plasters
- Gypsum plasterboard
Substrate Preparation
The substrate must be perfectly dry, dust-free, with no humidity and salts stains:
-
New natural lime plasters: the substrate should "mature" for a period of minimum 20 days; then apply MARBLESTONE lime plaster and wet thoroughly the wall in case of windy and extremely hot weather.
-
New or recent lime and cement mortars, premixed renderings, gypsum and plaster boards: apply one priming coat of MARBLESTONE, mixed 1:1 with IsoSil (siloxane clear sealer) and 4/5 parts of clean water. After 4-6 hours apply MARBLESTONE lime coating.
-
Pre-existing chalking lime plasters: remove damaged and peeling areas with an adequate tool or high-pressure washing; apply one priming coat consisting of MARBLESTONE mixed 1:1 with IsoSil (siloxane clear sealer) and 4-5 parts of clean water. After a few hours smooth the wall with one coat of MARMUR FINE, if necessary. Wait at least 4-6 hours prior to the application of MARBLESTONE lime coating.
-
Old synthetic paints and plasters: remove the synthetic finishing coat with a paint remover containing no paraffin. Wash the substrate by means of a high-pressure washing and prepare it according to its nature and following the instructions above.
Application Procedure and Recommendation
MARBLESTONE lime plaster is ready for use and therefore does not require any water dilution. Apply in two coats with a stainless steel trowel It is recommended to wait 8 hours between the 2 coats. Work into the second coat, while it is still setting, with a sponge float. The "marbling effect" typical of MARBLESTONE is achieved by polishing the second final coat with an inox trowel like, which must be kept wet with water and passed over the substrate until the required level of sheen has been reached. Stain effects, patinas or transparent glazes maybe achieved with Antiche Patine mixed with Lattedicalce and applied over MARBLESTONE with any tool, at least 12 hours after the second coat.
Do not apply with rainy weather or with air or substrate temperature below 5° C.
Protect the facades from rain, at least along the first 48 hours, i.e. until lime has finished to set and started to get hard.

Specification
Application of MARBLESTONE lime coating, containing well seasoned hydrated lime putty, fine marble powder, colouring oxides and earths, linseed oil and rheologic modifiers, manufactured by Firenzecolor, Forli, and applied in two coats with a stainless steel trowel, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The second coat will be smoothed down with a sponge float and eventually polished with an inox trowel to get a "closed" texture. The "marbling effect" typical of MARBLESTONE is achieved by polishing the second final coat with an inox trowel like, which must be kept wet with water and passed over the substrate until the required level of sheen has been reached
The substrates will be previously treated as follows (choose your specific case and calculate this as a separate charge):
-
New natural lime plasters: the substrate should "mature" for a period of minimum 20 days; then apply MARBLESTONE lime plaster and wet thoroughly the wall in case of windy and extremely hot weather.
-
New or recent lime and cement mortars, premixed renderings, gypsum and plaster boards: apply one priming coat of MARBLESTONE, mixed 1:1 with IsoSil (siloxane clear sealer) and 4/5 parts of clean water. After 4-6 hours apply MARBLESTONE lime coating.
-
Pre-existing chalking lime plasters: remove damaged and peeling areas with an adequate tool or high-pressure washing; apply one priming coat consisting of MARBLESTONE mixed 1:1 with IsoSil (siloxane clear sealer) and 4-5 parts of clean water. After a few hours smooth the wall with one coat of MARMUR FINE, if necessary. Wait at least 4-6 hours prior to the application of MARBLESTONE lime coating.
-
Old synthetic paints and plasters: remove the synthetic finishing coat with a paint remover containing no paraffin.. Wash the substrate by means of a high-pressure washing and prepare it according to its nature and following the instructions above.
Stain effects, patinas or transparent glazes maybe achieved with Antiche Patine mixed with Lattedicalce and applied over Era lime paint with any tool, at least 12 hours after the second coat.
Exclusive of scaffoldings, inclusive of flooring, frames and plant protection.
