The Surface Encyclopedia
Every surface, one place.
From the surfaces we craft every day to the rarest finishes in the world — explore decorative surfaces by the look you love, and see where each one belongs in a home.
Resin-Bound
A seamless “stone carpet” — natural aggregate bound in clear resin and hand-trowelled to a smooth, permeable finish. Where RBS began, and still made in-house.
Microcement
A thin, jointless mineral coating that flows seamlessly across floors, walls and even wet areas — contemporary, continuous, calm.
Marmorino
A hand-worked lime plaster from Venice that carries the soft, cloudy depth of stone. Matte to gentle satin, with a quiet drift of marble movement rather than a mirror shine.
Marmo Antico
A textured lime plaster built to look already old — an irregular, hand-raised relief with worn edges and drifting tone, so a new wall arrives with the quiet of a weathered palazzo.
Marmorino Cementizio
Marmorino's tougher modern sibling — the same soft, stony drift of the Venetian original, rebuilt on a cement binder that shrugs off knocks, scrubbing and harsher settings.
Metallic Epoxy
A poured, mirror-smooth floor with shifting metallic depth — like liquid stone caught mid-flow and set forever underfoot.
Stucco Veneziano
Venetian lime plaster taken to its glossiest conclusion: whisper-thin layers burnished to a glassy, marble-like sheen, with light that seems to sink in before it returns. The finish most people picture when they say Venetian plaster.
Encausto
Venetian lime plaster sealed and burnished with wax — a warm, fed satin glow rather than a cold mineral mirror. The most tactile of the polished lime walls, and the one you can actually wipe.
Flake Epoxy
A hard-wearing resin floor scattered with soft flecks of colour — speckled, seamless and quietly forgiving underfoot.
Quartz Broadcast Epoxy
Coloured quartz sand broadcast into wet epoxy and sealed clear — a seamless floor that is decorative, hygienic and genuinely slip-resistant, built for wet service areas and ramps.
MMA Decorative Quartz
The decorative quartz floor rebuilt in methacrylate resin — the same coloured-sand look and grip, cold-cured and walkable in hours, for spaces that cannot afford to close.
MMA Cold-Cure Flooring
Methacrylate resin flooring that reaches full cure in around two hours per coat, even in a cold store — the overnight-turnaround system for facilities that cannot close.
Polyaspartic Floor Coating
The one-day floor — an aliphatic polyurea coating that cures in hours instead of days and never ambers in sunlight. Speed and UV stability are the product.
Intonachino
A fine-sand lime plaster with a matte skin and a whisper of grain — the breathable, unpolished finish of Tuscan villas, equally at home on an interior wall and a sun-warmed façade.
Poured Epoxy
A seamless, self-levelling resin floor poured to a flawless high-gloss finish — industrial poise softened into quiet luxury.
Epoxy Mortar Screed
Trowel-applied epoxy mortar laid 4–9 mm thick — the toughest floor in the epoxy family, built for impact, point loads and forklift traffic, and for rebuilding broken slabs.
PU Self-Levelling Floor
A seamless self-smoothing polyurethane floor — the comfort floor. Warmer, quieter and more elastic than epoxy, it flexes where harder resins crack.
PU Floor Coating
A thin-film polyurethane coating for floors — protection and sheen control over concrete and resin, and the standard UV-stable clear coat over epoxy colour.
Resin-Bonded
The textured sister of resin-bound — dry stone scattered over a resin-coated base, so every stone tip stands proud. Rough, sealed, and naturally anti-slip.
Glass Aggregate Resin
Recycled glass chips bound in clear resin — the sustainable sister of the stone carpet, laid seamless with a subtle glint that natural aggregate cannot give.
Cork Resin
Cork granules bound in clear resin — a seamless floor that is warm, quiet and slightly soft underfoot, with spray-applied cork for walls and acoustic work.
Grassello di Calce
The aged lime-putty finish that all Venetian plasterwork is built upon: smooth, satin and quietly luminous, softening light rather than throwing it back. The gentle base beneath every richer effect.
Limewash
The oldest lime finish there is: slaked lime brushed on thin, drying to a soft chalky matte with cloudy tonal movement. A real breathing mineral colour, not a paint pretending to be one.
Sgraffito
Two coloured layers of lime, one scratched away while soft to reveal the other — a pattern cut into the wall itself rather than painted onto it, so the design lives in the plaster and ages with it.
Silicate Mineral Paint
Potassium-silicate 'liquid glass' paint that bonds chemically into a mineral wall instead of filming over it — dead-matte, fully breathable, and extraordinarily lightfast. The facade colour that outlasts the sun.
Silicate Mineral Plaster
A fine mineral render bound with silicate — the plaster sibling of waterglass paint. Trowelled grain that bonds into the wall like glass: matte, breathable, and built to keep its colour and its grip for decades outdoors.
Rubber Surfaces
A soft, seamless poured rubber surface — quietly cushioned underfoot and laid in one continuous sweep, at home around pools, gardens, play areas and wellness spaces.
Clay Plaster
A raw earthen finish of clay, fine sand and natural pigment — deeply matte, velvety and grounding, in the tones of sand and ochre. It softens the light and quietly steadies the air of a room.
Epoxy Terrazzo
The modern voice of terrazzo — marble and glass chips set in clear epoxy, ground and polished. Thinner, faster and brighter than the classic cement pour.
Polyester Terrazzo
Marble chips set in a polyester resin binder, ground and polished — the faster-curing, more economical route to a resin terrazzo floor. Honest about where it earns its place, and where epoxy is worth the difference.
Terrazzo
Marble and stone chips scattered through a binder, then ground and polished to a soft, speckled sheen — a floor with centuries of Venetian craft in every fleck.
Spatolato
A trowelled lime finish with soft, cloudy movement and a matte-to-satin sheen — modern, tone-on-tone and calm, where the sweep of the blade becomes the pattern of the wall.
Polished Concrete
The floor already beneath your feet, brought to life — concrete ground and refined until it glows, from a soft, honed matte to a deep, mirror-like sheen.
Cementitious Overlay
The renovation workhorse — a polymer-modified cement layer poured over a tired slab to make it flat, sound and new again, ready to be a floor or to carry a finer finish.
Acid-Stained Concrete
Translucent colour that reacts into the slab itself — acid stains, water-based stains and dyes turning grey concrete into variegated, organic tones that are never the same twice.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete
The classic washed-concrete finish — the surface paste is rinsed away while the slab is young, revealing the natural pebbles inside. The original decorative driveway and pool-deck surface.
Bush-Hammered Concrete
Concrete textured the stonemason's way — bush-hammered, sandblasted or shot-blasted after curing, so the surface breaks open into the matte, dressed-stone character of worked rock.
Cocciopesto
Lime warmed with crushed fired terracotta, giving a soft pink-earth surface flecked with brick. One of the oldest water-loving finishes ever made, at ease even where water lives.
Integral Coloured Concrete
Concrete coloured in the mix, not on the surface — mineral pigment blended through the whole batch, so the tone is identical at the surface and the core and can never wear off.
Pastellone
A seamless Venetian lime floor with no chips at all — a single warm, waxed, hand-burnished plane tinted in the mass. Terrazzo's smooth ancestor: softer, warmer and more forgiving underfoot than any hard floor beside it.
Spray & Stencil Concrete
A sprayed polymer-cement overlay with stencilled patterns — a few millimetres of new, textured, decorated surface over an existing slab, so tired exterior concrete is renewed without repouring.
Tadelakt
A silken Moroccan lime plaster, burnished by hand until it turns to soft stone — seamless, sensual and naturally water-safe, at home in the most beautiful bathrooms.
Magnesite Flooring
The historic seamless floor — magnesium oxychloride (Sorel cement) poured jointless, warm and quiet underfoot. A heritage craft we keep alive for restoration and for the rare dry interior that truly wants it.
Travertino
A lime plaster that captures the soft, open-pored beauty of travertine stone — quiet movement and gentle shadow across a wall you can run your hand along.
Liquid Metal
A skin of real bronze, copper or iron spread over any shape like plaster, then burnished bright or coaxed into patina. The gravity of solid metal, without the weight of it.
Metallic Plasters
Decorative plasters loaded with mica and metallic pigment, trowelled so the shimmer drifts across the wall — a surface that reads champagne from one side of the room and bronze from the other.
Oxidation Effects
Coatings that don't imitate rust or verdigris — they grow it. Real iron and copper particles, chemically oxidised on the wall, then stopped and sealed where you want them.
Béton Ciré
French “waxed concrete” — a warm, hand-finished surface with the soft depth of poured stone and the glow of a waxed, lived-in patina.
Concrete-Effect Plasters
Trowelled decorative plasters — Concrete Art, cemento materico — that give a wall the raw, architectural beauty of cast concrete a few millimetres thick. The look, without the slab.
Velvet & Suede Effects
Wall finishes that behave like fabric — a fine, soft-touch nap that catches light one way and absorbs it the other, so the wall changes tone as you cross the room.
Texture Paints
Decorative paints carrying a mineral tooth — sand, chalk, clay and limewash effects that give a wall real texture and depth in a couple of coats, without laying a plaster.
Stucco Lustro
Polished gypsum plaster worked to the cool, deep glow of marble — the wall-scale gypsum marble finish, burnished hot until the surface reads as stone.
Scagliola
The centuries-old art of conjuring marble and precious stone from pigmented gypsum — polished until the eye simply cannot tell it from the real thing.
