Description

Biellese is a natural lime and marble polished plaster with a surface reminiscent of worn wood. Inspired by a bleached white piece of Douglas Fir driftwood, the gentle riven surface speaks volumes about time can craft the most beautiful and natural of surfaces. It is a softly textured, mid-sheen finish with a horizontal pattern for use on interior walls.


It is water vapour-permeable and is suitable for traditional plastered masonry, including historic buildings.


It comes with Eco Pearl applied as standard for increased protection against soiling.


It is also available to be used as a system with Armourcoat® AntiCrack reinforced gypsum skim coat. Please see specification data for more details.
