Natural lime paint for facade conservation. Optionally reinforced with linseed oil varnish or cottage cheese (lime caseinates) for a more durable coating.
Conservation of Details
Precise works on cornices and ornaments. The plastic lime mass allows recreating the finest historical architectural details.
