Architectural calm
Refined, hand‑worked lime plaster that reads as a single, continuous surface — stone‑like rather than decorative, with controlled relief and quiet movement.

How this finish behaves
Meteore 10 Intonaco is a lime‑based decorative plaster for stone and plaster‑like walls. It builds a tactile mineral body with gentle relief — not a flat paint effect — so light reads across soft grain and subtle movement.
Within the Meteore 10 family it sits between Cemento (concrete language) and Marmorizzato (marble language): Intonaco is the calm plaster / stone direction used where you want warmth and softness without overt shine.
Textural control
From compact, almost flat fields to more open civil textures and brushed grain. The same system supports multiple Intonaco readings through tool and movement.
Composed reflectance
Soft mineral sheen under grazing light — less glossy than polished plaster, less industrial than concrete, ideal for calm, timeless interiors.
“A composed mineral surface — modern plaster that reads architectural under changing light.”
Italian Surface FinishesWhere Meteore 10 Intonaco is used
Use Intonaco when the brief calls for a stone or plaster reading rather than concrete or marble — lime‑mineral walls that support timber, stone, metal and fabric without competing with them.
Residential interiors
Living spaces, bedrooms, stair cores and entrance halls where walls should feel warm and tactile. Often paired with Marmorizzato in focal areas and Cemento on more architectural surfaces.
Hospitality & retail
Boutiques, salons, cafés and restaurants where a soft stone‑like plaster supports lighting, joinery and furniture rather than overpowering them.
Heritage & breathable schemes
Lime‑based, vapour‑permeable walls in period properties and sympathetic refurbishments, where mineral continuity and breathability matter.
In kitchens and general bathroom areas, Intonaco can be sealed for improved cleanability. For showers, wet rooms and floors, move to the dedicated waterproof bodies (E‑VOLUTION PLUS, I‑BETON PLUS and related systems) and use Intonaco as the visual reference.

System & build‑up
Meteore 10 Intonaco is always installed as a system. The primer, two‑coat plaster build and any protection are chosen so that the stone / plaster reading and performance match the project.
Standard Intonaco cycle
1. Primer 1200 — 1 coat diluted around 30 % with water to regulate absorption.
2. Meteore 10 Intonaco — first coat — thin trowelled layer for coverage and base movement.
3. Meteore 10 Intonaco — second coat — design coat worked as Spatolato, Civile or Pennellato.
4. Optional protection — Vetro Opaco / Vetro Lucido / Cera Wax in selected zones for increased
washability and stain resistance.
