Calce Hydro

Italian Masters Calce Hydro is a range of natural minerals, hydraulic lime (NHL) plasters designed to protect and enhance buildings inside and out. A sustainable alternative to conventional plaster and stucco products, Calce Hydro is made with minimal yet expert preparation. Though steeped in history, lime plasters are perfectly suited to our time. Their natural composition restores health to interiors and exteriors, their timeless finishes address every style, from traditional to contemporary. Once applied, the material naturally hardens and strengthens to convert its own chemistry into calcium carbonate (limestone), ensuring long lasting protection to any structure and in all conditions. Naturally white or tinted with powder pigments, all finishes created with Calce Hydro require no painting and remain virtually maintenance free. These traditional European plasters are available in assorted aggregation for either interior or exterior use and are suited to larger areas.
