Illusional Effects uses imported natural plasters from centuries-old quarries in Italy. Most
lime plasters on the market are made from hydrated lime and require the addition of synthetic
binders, which make the finish look tired and faded over time. The plasters used by Illusional
Effects are made from 100% pure-slaked lime, which have been combined with natural earth pigments
and mineral additives such as marble, titanium and sand.
Besides the durability track record of these high quality plasters compared to synthetics, they
are UV resistant and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), free which naturally inhibit mold and
mildew.
That is why these finishes are so in demand for those sensitive to chemicals or desiring a true
natural embellishment to their walls. These high quality product used by Illusional Effects
are the same products that UNESCO authorized for use in preserving and restoring the architectural
heritage of historical buildings in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

Many of these beautiful lime based plasters have the ability to stand on their own. But when
additional protection is needed in heavily trafficked areas, they can be sealed with a clear
or colored blend of bees wax and carnauba wax to create a beautiful protective sheen.
Color combinations of plaster and waxes are almost endless and the results breathtaking. These
finishes need to be seen and touched to truly enjoy the sometimes subtle and sometimes dramatic
changes made by wax.
Please call today to schedule your consultation to determine if these Italian plasters are
the final touch needed to complete your decorating project. When only exquisite will do, why
Faux (fo) when you can Chaux (sho) it.
