American Clay: Marittimo The strongest of our three plasters, Marittimo draws its beauty and charm from the Mediterranean villages of Morocco and from the playfulness and color of the Caribbean islands. Crushed shell aggregate gives it strength. It is the shell that provides the speckle that adds depth and subtle sheen to any interior environment. Somewhat reminiscent of the ancient shell terrazzo floors of Italy and Egypt, Marittimo brings a soft patina that envelops a room with exquisite beauty. When reworked with a burnishing trowel, Marittimo imparts a glow unequaled in the world of plaster. Marittimo can also be sprayed on as well as hand-troweled.Marittimo goes over a base coat of Loma, and is as easy to apply as Loma. It is our most durable plaster, and costs a bit more per square foot than Loma and Porcelina. Made of a variety of clays, crushed sea shells, natural mineral pigments and a non-toxic mold inhibitor. Available in 50 lb. bags Coverage: 160 square feet per 50 lb. bag in one coat over a base coat of American clay Loma Back to American Clay |
