Meteore 10 Cemento
Lime-based concrete aesthetic for architectural walls and selected façades — mineral depth, calm movement and a disciplined concrete reading that sits naturally beside stone, timber, metal and glass.

How this finish behaves
Meteore 10 Cemento is a lime–mineral decorative system for architectural concrete on walls. It builds a physical mineral body, not just a grey paint layer, and is finished with a cement-effect glaze so pores, movement and light response read as a single concrete surface.
It sits in the same family as Meteore 10 Intonaco (stone/plaster) and Meteore 10 Marmorizzato (marble/marmorino), giving designers one framework for mineral surfaces — concrete, stone and marble — with clear system logic behind each.
Mineral & breathable
Lime‑based mineral body with very low VOC and A1 fire performance, suitable for modern interiors and selected heritage substrates where vapour permeability matters.
System, not a tin
Primer 1200 → Meteore 10 (2 coats) → C100 OVER cement glaze → optional Finish V 18. A defined cycle that can be written directly into specification documents.
“Concrete as a controllable skin: pores, rhythm and light, without the weight of structure.”
Italian Surface FinishesWhere Meteore 10 Cemento is used
Use this system whenever the brief calls for a serious concrete reading on walls — not a printed pattern, but a mineral surface that sits credibly beside cast concrete, stone, timber and metal.
Residential interiors
Living rooms, kitchen / dining spaces, stair cores and entrance halls where concrete should feel calm and composed rather than decorative. Often paired with silk & suede or stone finishes in adjacent rooms.
Hospitality & retail
Bars, restaurants, cafés, hotel lobbies and galleries where walls carry part of the architectural story: concrete backdrops to timber, metal and lighting.
Selected façades
Exterior feature walls and façade elements detailed to the Meteore 10 facade specification, where you want concrete character without full structural slabs.
For continuous bathrooms, wet rooms and “microcement” floors, the concrete reading is translated onto the dedicated waterproof body: Waterproof Artistic Walls and the systems taught in the Academy.

System & build‑up
Meteore 10 Cemento is always installed as a system. The sequence is simple, but each step matters — especially when you are moving between interior feature walls, façade work and zones that sit close to bathrooms and kitchens.
Standard cycle
1. Primer 1200 to regulate absorption.
2. Meteore 10 Cemento — first coat for build and body.
3. Meteore 10 Cemento — second coat for texture and movement.
4. C100 OVER cement‑effect glaze to unify tone and improve resistance.
5. Finish V 18 (optional) in high‑wear or splash zones.
