Intonachino

This plaster finish comes in 4 different forms, extra fine, fine, medium and coarse. It is uniformly rough with slight variations in color intensity typical of lime-based products. It is intended for either interior or exterior surfaces and is highly breathable, naturally mildew resistant. We apply Intonachino in a lot of different ways to obtain certain special effects. A few to mention is our travertine style which makes your walls look like they were clad with huge slabs of travertine

Then there are the coarser distressed intonachino finish which can be made to look like old castle walls with the coarse grain visible but feeling smooth like suede. The pitted finish decorates your walls in a distinctive, antique way. The inexhaustable finishing variations make this a very popular plaster finish in all styles of construction, from crisp modern to classic mountain.
