Artisan Stucco Mortars

The Best from History, Built for the Future
Artisan Stucco lime mortars are crafted using the finest materials nature has to offer. Pure white lime and marble powder are combined with carefully selected natural mineral pigments, without the use of any additives.

These 100% calcium carbonate mortars are rooted in centuries of tradition, reflecting the same plasters and masonry mortars once used to adorn palaces and temples throughout history. By employing original ingredients and time-honoured techniques, Artisan Stucco creates surfaces that recall the timeless beauty of the Sistine Chapel, the frescoes of Pompeii, or the Alhambra.

Applications
Artisan Stucco’s high-quality slaked lime putty, blended with various sands and minerals, can be used to produce a wide range of hydrated lime mortars suitable for numerous applications.

While lime mortars are widely appreciated for their aesthetic qualities as finishing plasters, they are equally suitable as substrate mortars and for use in restoration projects, masonry, and (re)pointing. They can be applied both indoors and outdoors.

In addition to lime mortars, Artisan Stucco also offers ready-to-use finishing mortars, lime paint, and kalei. These products provide refined finishes while retaining the sustainable, breathable characteristics that define traditional lime-based materials.

General Advantages
Available in a wide variety of mineral colours and shades, Artisan Stucco’s lime mortars and finishes are elegant, natural, and well suited to sustainable building projects. They combine elasticity, water resistance, and exceptional durability. Their natural capillary action helps to expel moisture and salts from walls, while their high alkalinity acts as a natural fungicide. No additives are used or required, ensuring the materials retain their natural integrity over time.

Handmade for You
In the Delft workshop, a small dedicated team handcrafts each batch of paints and mortars to order, ensuring consistently high quality. Custom-designed mortars and paints can also be developed to meet specific project requirements. Products are available through the online store and via a carefully selected network of suppliers.
