Septembers Decorative Finish- Strange Rasa Calce

This month’s finish is called Strange Rasa Calce.

This authentic Italian “Venetian” plaster finish is a mixture of two lime/marble plasters: Rasa Calce and Calcenova. Rasa Calce is an Old World type plaster used to create old looking walls. I also use this plaster when creating a breakaway plaster look like the Stucco Cadere Matone’ (check out my blog to read about that finish). Calcenova is a luminous plaster that is burnished to a lustrous shine. When combined they create a rich old world look that mimics aged stone. A wax is applied to age the plaster and protects it as well. This finish is perfect for the individual who wishes to have a distinct decorative finish that is the best of both worlds. To see a sample up close give us a call to schedule an appointment 972-971-FAUX (3289)

All plasters are non-toxic, non-flammable, and our mineral plasters create a hypo-allergenic environment, resist dust mites, cools a room because in 28 days they calcify back to stone, resist mold and mildew, and regulate indoor humidity. Our lime plasters are mined from the Italian Alps, so in every home we have the pleasure of knowing that we literally leave a piece of Italy on its walls. Custom hand wall finishes created to your design and liking.

When designing your clients environment it is a good idea to search the web for pictures that will inspire the art work that will adorn the walls. Pictures of real walls will always offer the best examples. If you have a vision but can’t find a picture we can work the design out with you and create a sample board to fit your needs.
