Valmetal — Application Guide

Valmetal is a brushed metallic decorative finish that delivers refined sheen, soft movement, and a contemporary, architectural read. Designed and made in Italy, it elevates feature walls and reception spaces while remaining practical and easy to maintain.

Step-by-Step Method

1. Surface preparation — ensure the wall is clean, dry, smooth; fill and sand imperfections. Prime with the recommended base coat for uniform absorption.
2. Base coat — apply the specified tinted base evenly with a roller; allow to dry fully.
3. Valmetal effect — apply with a soft brush or flexible trowel in controlled, linear strokes (vertical or horizontal). While workable, feather lightly to unify the brushed metallic direction and reveal the subtle shimmer. Work wet-to-wet and blend edges.

Professional Tips

• Decide your direction (vertical/horizontal) before starting and keep it consistent for a coherent brushed read.
• Use light, even pressure; heavy passes can create ridges and glare spots.
• On larger walls, work in pairs (one applies, one feathers) to maintain a continuous grain.
• Judge the effect under the project’s final lighting — metallic sheen shifts with warm/cool illumination.

Safety & Environment

Water-based and low-VOC. Suitable for residential, commercial, and hospitality interiors where aesthetics, durability, and air quality matter.
