Frequently Asked Questions — Decora Slaked Lime Finishes

Common questions about slaked lime finishes, their application, and benefits for your project.

Slaked lime, or hydrated lime, is created when water is added to quicklime. This process produces a natural, breathable base used for centuries in Venetian plaster, limewash, and mineral coatings.

Limewash is a thin, paint-like coating that enhances walls with a soft, matte look, while lime plaster – such as Venetian or Marmorino finishes – is thicker, offering texture, depth, and durability.

Yes. All Decora finishes are 100% natural, VOC-free, and carbon-negative, formulated from hydrated lime, mineral pigments, and aggregates – making them a sustainable alternative to synthetic paints.

Absolutely. When properly sealed, finishes like TESEO, CARRARA, and TADELAKT perform exceptionally well in bathrooms, spas, and humid environments, maintaining both beauty and breathability.

With correct application and care, Decora Slaked Lime Finishes can last for decades. Lime naturally carbonates over time, strengthening the surface and developing a rich, timeless patina.

Yes. Products such as TESEO and DILAVATO are designed for exterior facades, offering weather resistance, breathability, and color stability even in demanding climates.

Decora offers a curated Color Collection inspired by natural minerals and earth pigments. Each finish can be custom-tinted using the Color Selector, ensuring perfect harmony with any design palette.

Lime finishes are naturally breathable and alkaline, preventing mold growth and allowing moisture to escape. This creates healthier indoor environments compared to synthetic coatings.

Yes, but surfaces must be properly cleaned, primed, and prepared to ensure adhesion. Decora recommends mineral-based primers for best performance and finish longevity.

Venetian plaster refers to a broad range of polished lime plasters, while Marmorino is a specific formulation with marble dust and fine aggregates, offering a softer, satin sheen and natural depth.

Maintenance is minimal – simply clean with a soft, damp cloth. For polished or sealed finishes, occasional re-waxing or soap treatment can enhance protection and luster.

Decora combines traditional Italian craftsmanship with modern performance, offering eco-conscious, durable, and breathable finishes trusted by architects, artisans, and designers worldwide.
