Application and advantages

Cocciopesto is the result of crushing or grinding
bricks (old bricks, tiles or tiles).

Selected in different grain sizes, it has important
pozzolanicity requirements. Like pozzolana, in fact, cocciopesto
mixed with water and lime it allows you to prepare mortars and plasters from
exceptional permeability and durability characteristics.

The plaster
Cocciopesto

Cocciopesto plaster is a building material used as
wall coverings and composed of a lime base and a lime powder
brick, which is able to transmit excellent properties to the mixture
hydraulic systems and guarantee high resistance to the coating (or plaster).
to humidity.

Cocciopesto plaster also has excellent properties
breathable and hygroscopic, long-lasting preservation and easy installation
works very quickly.

Furthermore, it is easy to manufacture and can be made in
two color variations, namely pink and yellow, different based on the type
of bricks used in the mixture.

And, thanks to its natural color, cocciopesto plaster
does not require subsequent painting.

Application of
cocciopesto

Cocciopesto plasters and finishes are suitable for both
internal and external surfaces. Particularly suitable for interventions in which
you want to give the surfaces the natural color of the material, where possible
requires the use of a natural, hygroscopic, very breathable material
resistant to chemical aggression. Specific for recovery interventions,
conservative and monumental restoration, in total compatibility with the materials
originals used in the past, thanks to the formulation with raw materials
historical. Suitable for green building to ensure hygroscopicity and healthiness of the buildings
environments.

Advantages

The mortars are pre-packaged, powdered, mineral, composed of
pure aerial lime, micronized natural pozzolans, cocciopesto derived from
crushing of low temperature fired brick and aggregates
calcareous-siliceous selected in a continuous granulometric curve, absolutely
free of salts and any form of clinker.

They are characterized by: 

  • ease of preparation and installation;
  • excellent ability
    breathable and hygrometric;
  • high durability in
    time;
  • valuable aesthetics.
