Nikkolor Italia — Made in Sicily, Italy
Mineral Surfaces
Born in Italy
La materia è memoria. La superficie è intenzione.
The Origin
From southeastern Sicily
Nikkolor Italia is a Sicilian manufacturer based in Floridia, Province of Syracuse — within view of Mount Etna. Every formula is followed from raw mineral to finished pack at the Floridia works.
Where Spanish microcement focuses on speed and Iberian aesthetic codes, and where French and German cementitious systems trace their lineage to industrial flooring, Nikkolor draws from the Italian tradition of marmorino and Venetian plaster — surfaces designed to age gracefully, to hold light, and to reveal craft in their texture.
Every Nikkolor formulation begins with mineral aggregates — quartz sands and microspheres, marble powders, crystal microspheres, volcanic ash — bound with the smallest possible footprint of binder. The result is mineral first, polymer second. Surface, not coating.
Material Context
Understand the material, then the project
Sicilian Origins
A range shaped by place
Nikkolor presents Etna as a finish connected to the volcanic landscape of Sicily. Its visual character should be considered alongside a physical sample, the substrate and the lighting of the intended space.
Project Assessment
Suitability is site-specific
Product selection cannot establish suitability for every project. Substrate condition, location, exposure, waterproofing, movement detailing, maintenance and applicable requirements must be reviewed before a material path is confirmed.
What Makes It Italian
Five differences that matter
A volcanic design language
Etna draws its identity from the Sicilian volcanic landscape. View a physical sample before choosing it for an active project.
Material selection with context
Choose a finish for the actual substrate, room, lighting, use and desired hand-worked character rather than from a generic product promise.
Mineral binders, fewer polymers
The range includes mineral-led finishes with varied visual and working qualities. Confirm composition and suitability directly for the selected product and project.
Renovation starts underneath
Existing tile, marble, screed and other substrates require condition assessment and appropriate preparation. No supporting-material sequence should be assumed universally.
Confirm project requirements
Where a project has indoor-air, fire, slip or other compliance requirements, obtain appropriate current evidence for the exact proposed assembly and seek professional review.
Italian craftsmanship culture
Lux Academy provides hands-on opportunities to learn material handling, substrate assessment and application technique.
The Etna Eruption — 1669
A finish informed by Sicily
Nikkolor connects the Etna finish with the volcanic landscape around Catania. That story provides design context, but product selection still begins with a physical sample and an assessment of the intended substrate and location.

Inside Every Bag
The mineral matrix
Mineral character
The range includes varied mineral textures and visual effects. Compare physical samples in the light and palette of the intended room.
Substrate condition
Identify what is already in place, including movement, moisture, flatness, existing coatings and junctions.
Supporting materials
Primer, reinforcement and protective-finish choices depend on the selected product and actual project conditions.
Application technique
Hand application contributes to variation and texture. Agree the visual direction with a representative sample.
Exposure and use
Traffic, water, cleaning, sunlight, heat sources and impact risk should be considered before specification.
Construction details
Waterproofing, falls, drainage, joints, penetrations and transitions remain part of the wider construction design.
Italian Philosophy
Built to age, not to be replaced
Order for the project
Plan quantities and product selection for the assessed substrate and scope. Ask for current storage and handling guidance before retaining opened material.
Breathable substrate
Moisture behaviour depends on the substrate, assembly, exposure and selected finish. Investigate moisture sources before applying a decorative surface.
Repairable, not disposable
Maintenance and renewal options depend on the installed finish, its condition and its use. Inspect the surface before choosing a treatment.
Australian Distribution
Sole Authorised Importer
Lux Cement supplies the Nikkolor mineral surface range in Australia, supports project-specific material selection and provides hands-on learning through Lux Academy from our base on the Surf Coast in Victoria.
