Terrae-Calce

Inspired by the classic buildings of Southern Italy.

Terrae-Calce offers an irregular yet elegant texture, reminiscent of the traditional buildings of Southern Italy, blending simplicity, craftsmanship, and passion.

This superb lime-based material produces a finish similar to Venetian plaster. However, Terrae-Calce is longer-lasting, more sustainable, and offers superior breathability and mould resistance. With a wide range of colours and textures available, Terrae-Calce provides a versatile and durable luxury solution for your interior finishes.

Breathability

Terrae-Calce products are highly breathable, allowing natural water vapour passage in walls. This minimises delamination issues like blistering, ensuring a durable finish, particularly in humid areas.

Lime’s hygroscopic properties, absorbing water molecules from the environment, not only moderate humidity levels but also combat mould, bacteria, and fungi, improving air quality. This reduces asthma and allergy risks, creating a healthier living space.

Best of all, Terrae-Calce products are VOC-free, meaning they don’t release harmful volatile organic compounds into the air, ensuring a safer and healthier environment for you and your family. Choose Terrae-Calce for a healthier, more durable, and environmentally friendly solution for your surfaces.

Minimal impact on our climate

Lime is fired at a lower temperature than many other solutions. This means that its production reduces environmental impact and uses less energy.

Also, it uniquely reabsorbs part of the carbon dioxide (Co2) emitted during combustion thanks to the “Carbonation” process, while it polymerises following installation (natural carbon sink), thus reducing the negative effects on the environment.

Sustainability

AVAILABILITY: The raw material for the production of lime is limestone, a sedimentary rock, rich in calcium carbonate (CaCO3); marble or other minerals can also be used. As these raw materials are widely present, their use does not contribute to the depletion of rare resources.

WASTE RECOVERY: The aggregates are all products of waste recovery including rice husk and hemp hurds.
