Italian Paint Application in Unkapanı

The stone-fronted, high-ceilinged older buildings on the streets neighbouring Zeyrek and Süleymaniye in Unkapanı offer a distinctive setting for Italian decorative paint. But application in these buildings follows different rules than in a concrete-framed flat. Erdağ Yapı Dekorasyon applies Marmorino, travertino, marble and concrete-effect finishes throughout Unkapanı.

Why Breathable Lime Systems Are Essential

In stone and brick buildings close to the Golden Horn shore, wall moisture shifts with the seasons. A synthetic, non-porous paint traps that moisture inside, and the result is blistering and mould. Lime-based Marmorino and travertino systems breathe, letting moisture in the wall escape outward. That is why we recommend a lime-based system, and avoid synthetic products, especially on ground floors and in flats near the waterline.

Texture in Keeping with a Restored Facade

In listed or restored buildings, the texture and colour of a decorative surface must suit the surrounding historic fabric. In these buildings we first assess the existing surface and, where needed, settle the permission process together with the client before planning the scope of work.

Moisture and Curing Time

In high-humidity spaces the drying time between coats lengthens; we measure this at the survey and build it into the schedule from the start, since a rushed coat shows up as a mark later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Italian paint take in Unkapanı?

A single wall takes 1-2 days and a whole high-ceilinged room 3-5 days. In high-humidity spaces extra time may be needed for curing between coats.

Why do you recommend lime-based systems over synthetic paint?

In stone and brick buildings close to the Golden Horn shore, wall moisture shifts with the seasons. Synthetic, non-porous paint traps that moisture and causes blistering; lime-based systems breathe.

Can it be applied in a listed or restored building?

It can. We first assess the existing surface to keep the texture in keeping with the surrounding historic fabric, and settle any permission process with the client where needed.

What is the difference from ordinary wall paint?

Ordinary paint covers the wall in a single flat colour. Italian decorative paint is trowelled on in layers, giving a surface that changes with the light and adds texture.

How many coats are applied, and is waiting needed between them?

Usually three: a build coat, a texture coat and the burnish. The waiting time depends on the product's chemistry; it lengthens in humid weather, and we build that into the schedule.

Should I choose marmorino or stucco veneziano?

Veneziano's shine reveals every irregularity, so the substrate must be perfect. Marmorino hides slight undulation and usually suits old stone walls better.

Is there a smell during application?

Lime and water-based products give off no solvent smell; a faint lime scent clears within hours.

Can the surface be cleaned if it gets marked?

Yes, but it depends on the finish coat. Polished veneziano resists water and marks; matt marmorino without a sealer can hold a stain.

Can it go over existing paint?

It can go over sound, matt emulsion with a primer. It never goes over distemper; distemper breaks down with water and takes everything above it with it.
