TERRAE-CALCE MATERA By IDEAL WORK
The irregular but elegant texture of Matera finish recalls the traditional buildings of southern Italy, where simplicity, craftsmanship and passion blend.
Terrae collection is a tribute to the Earth and its elements. Its very name, derived from the Latin noun “Terra, Terrae”, literally means “of the earth”. Every element, from marble to clay, from water to fire, is part of an intrinsic connection with Nature and Earth. Ideal Work contributes to the sensitivity of a world that is embracing environmental awareness by presenting its new “Terrae” collection. Terrae is not just a coating solution but a real journey towards profound harmony with the surrounding elements.
Walls as an element of identity
The internal walls of an environment play a crucial role both in terms of the aesthetic impact and the functionality of a living or commercial space. In addition to providing structural support, walls represent a means to express trends, style and personality through surface and design choices. An appropriate surface can radically transform an internal environment, giving it a welcoming, modern, traditional or artistic look, depending on personal stylistic choices.
Lime: the history of a material
For more than 8,000 years, lime has shown its versatility in works of art and architecture. Today, Ideal Work resumes this long history; the Terrae lime is entirely formulated with natural ingredients — the result of careful selection. Terrae is an excellent system composed of primer, lime, natural pigments, rice husk, hemp aggregates and natural almond-based wax.
The benefits of our lime
- Breathability and environmental health: Coatings that help moderate humidity levels, promoting the reduction of asthma and allergies and improving the quality of the environment.
- Natural biocide against mould and fungi: Through its high pH (12-13), this solution keeps spaces free of unwanted microorganisms
- Sustainability and reduced climate impact: Investing in sustainable solutions not only reduces resource consumption but also promotes long-term environmental responsibility. Through its natural CO2 reabsorption process, lime has a reduced climate impact; furthermore, lime as a raw material is widely available locally and therefore does not contribute to the reduction of resources.
