Question 10

Are there any health benefits to your products?

Accepted Answer

Our lime-based decorative products have natural breathability, making it an inhospitable surface for bacteria, dust, mould and mildew without the need for chemical additives. In addition, they are extremely low in or completely absent of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). The purest product from our range is our Intonachino products.

Question 11

Who can apply your products?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend you utilise a Calce Company certified applicator, that has been trained in Calce Company products. This will ensure that the finish and quality of the samples will be achieved to the same finish that has been approved. In addition, using a certified applicator provides extra reassurance in product warranty.
