Because LUCE is 100% lime-based and VOC-free, it performs exceptionally well in humid environments where conventional paints or synthetic coatings often fail. Its breathable, mineral composition helps regulate moisture, prevent mold, and preserve long-term beauty. LUCE is not just a decorative coating – it’s a statement of elegance, sustainability, and Italian artistry.

Step-by-Step Application

Applying LUCE metallic lime plaster is a refined, artisan-driven process that combines craftsmanship with the natural beauty of lime-based materials. Each stage enhances the plaster’s luminous texture and ensures a durable, breathable finish that elevates any interior.

1. Surface Preparation

Begin by cleaning and leveling the wall surface to remove dust, grease, or loose material. Proper preparation ensures optimal adhesion and a flawless finish. For best results, prime the substrate with a mineral primer compatible with lime-based products. This creates a stable base for the metallic lime plaster to bond effectively.

2. Base Layer Application

Apply a smooth base layer of natural lime plaster to create a uniform foundation. This lime layer provides strength, breathability, and stability, allowing LUCE to perform at its best. The base also enhances moisture regulation – one of the key benefits of lime-based materials compared to synthetic coatings.

3. Metallic Finish Layer

Once the base is dry, apply LUCE metallic lime plaster using a hand trowel. Control the quartz dispersion to achieve your desired level of reflectivity – from a subtle satin glow to a more radiant metallic sheen. The application technique can be adjusted to create different visual effects, including soft waves, cross-hatched patterns, or directional arrow designs that catch and reflect light dynamically.

4. Polishing and Detailing

After partial drying, lightly burnish the surface using a clean trowel or soft cloth. This step enhances LUCE’s signature satin shimmer, revealing the interplay of light and texture unique to metallic lime plaster. The result is a smooth, luminous surface that feels soft to the touch while remaining visually rich and organic.

5. Final Protection and Sealing

To complete the process, apply a breathable wax or natural sealer. This protects the surface from moisture and wear without compromising its ability to breathe. The sealant deepens the tone and enhances the metallic reflection, ensuring long-lasting beauty and durability.

Pro Tip:

For layered artistic effects, LUCE can be combined with limewash paint or other lime-based finishes from Decora A&C. The combination of matte limewash and shimmering metallic lime plaster produces walls with exceptional depth, texture, and light responsiveness – ideal for luxury residential and commercial interiors.
