Lime & Clay Plasters
Marmorino Tintoretto
A matte, fine-grain Venetian plaster with soft, subtle depth. Natural limestone and marble dust, breathable paste for smooth textures with elegant colour variation. Ideal for understated, elegant interiors.
Marmorino Palladino
A stone-effect plaster with rich texture and depth, crafted from natural limestone. Suitable for feature walls, accent surfaces, and both interior and exterior use.
Intonaco Palladino
A heavier-bodied version of Marmorino Palladino, for more pronounced architectural texture. Natural lime and marble dust, interior or exterior.
Stucco Lamundo
[Photo needed — current product image is incorrectly showing Tonachino Firenze, flagged separately]
A traditional Venetian plaster that produces a highly polished, marble-like gloss finish on almost any interior surface. Tintable and formulated for durability and easy application.
Tonachino Firenze
A sand-finish plaster with a gritty, textured look — natural lime and marble dust paste. Ideal for rustic or Mediterranean-inspired walls, interior or exterior.
Moroccan Clay
Meoded's next-generation DIY matte plaster — real clay composition, soft hand-troweled movement, engineered for easy application. The easiest entry point into this category for a first-time DIYer.
Lime Wash
Meoded Lime Wash
A slaked limestone mineral coating that gives walls a soft, weathered, cloudy plaster look — the finish people usually mean when they say they want "that limewash look." Works on interior and exterior surfaces, including unsealed brick and stone. Applied in a two-coat process; colour variation appears with a cross-hatch technique.
Lime Wash Base Coat
Required prep coat on non-absorbent surfaces — drywall, plaster, or anything already painted — before applying Meoded Lime Wash. Not needed on bare brick or stone.
Microcement
Concretta FS
A natural microcement plaster rated for wet areas — showers, tub surrounds, backsplashes and countertops. Excellent adhesion, applies directly over tile and marble. Seamless concrete look without the weight of actual concrete.
Golmex
A high-quality concrete-look plaster — portland cement, lime, graded silica sand and admixtures — for polished-concrete or textured looks, interior or exterior.
Vega
A heavy stone-finish plaster achieving smooth to pitted textures, natural stone and precast looks. Excellent adhesion and durability, interior or exterior.
Decorative Metallics
Sapphire Metallic
A low-VOC pearlescent paint made with natural mica powders, giving walls, trim or furniture a shimmering satin finish. Note: several colours are currently limited or out of stock — check availability before specifying for a job.
Pearlas Velvet
A soft suede metallic finish with the look of Venetian plaster. Low-VOC, two-layer trowel application gives walls a velvety texture and colour depth that shifts with light.
The tools that actually matter
These finishes live or die by the tool. We stock Italian-made Meoded plaster trowels in flexible, oval, long and extra-long profiles, stainless spatulas from 40 mm to 120 mm for detail and edge work, and lime wash brushes in four sizes. We also carry the sealers — including Stain Defense, an oil and water repellent that protects without changing colour or texture, and Plaster Seal Plus for horizontal wet surfaces like shower floors and benches.
