IL Materico

Versatility is the fundamental characteristic for IL Materico. With a single coat, you will be able to create extraordinary textured effect or more traditional looking walls. Please choose the correct tint option for your bucket, if "untinted" option is chosen you will get sent untinted product. Coverage: 8.33 square feet per 1 KG.

• IL Materico can be applied as a one-, two-, or even multi-coat system, depending on how much texture and dimension you want to create. Its larger aggregate makes it ideal for creating dramatic, rock-like textures.

• One-coat application: Apply the material and create your desired texture. You can use the trowel to create scratches, holes, and other natural-looking effects. Once the material is dry to the touch, knock down and compress the texture, then burnish it.

• Two-coat application: For a more dimensional, 3D texture, apply the first coat and allow it to dry 100%. Apply the second coat using a skip-trowel technique or another texturing method. You can intentionally leave gaps and holes and use different trowels to create additional movement and texture.

• For even more dimension, you can add a third or additional coats until you achieve the rock-like effect you want. Once the final coat is dry to the touch, compress and burnish it.

• Sealing & color: For a natural clear finish, apply Soapstone Sealer. You can also seal it before adding different colors of lime wash to create more depth and variation.

• For Il Materico textured surface, apply the Soapstone and lime washes with a sponge so you can work the product into all the different textures, holes, and variations.
