Preparation

The foundation of a perfect finish lies in the preparation. We meticulously prepare substrates to ensure they are stable, flat, and primed. This is the most crucial step for longevity.

Application

Our artisans apply the microcement or plaster by hand, building each layer with care and precision. This process takes several days, allowing each layer to cure individually — creating the unique depth and movement of the finished surface.

Protection

Once ready, the decorative surface receives an approved compatible protective finish selected for the area's use, exposure, cleaning and maintenance needs. In wet areas this finish does not replace the compliant waterproofing membrane.
