COLOR RANGE
CONCRETE FINISH is offered in Grey concrete.
Note: Advanced Spirito Libero recommends that our entire range of lime based natural materials is used only by highly skilled or licensed tradespeople with extensive experience in this field. It is the responsibility of the applicator to understand the application method and the procedure involved in order to obtain a satisfactory outcome. Advanced Spirito Libero recomends that architects, builders and clients appoint only experienced applicators in the relevant lime-based materials to ensure they’ll be able to deliver the same finish as per the sample shown.
As with any lime-based material this product may change the appearance over time due to the ageing process caused by weather conditions”
To slow down this process the use of siloxane impregnating sealer is recomended over time.
For exteriors please protect treated surfaces from raining during application and for the time required to allow product to fully harden (48h), fail to do so, some trace of efflorescence might appear and no warranty will be applied.
Ensure that a sufficient quantity of the same batch is available to complete the entire job or at least to complete whole sections that will not reveal differences in shade.
Advanced Spirito Libero provides no warranty expressed or implied against damage due to movement of the substrate structure.
Following the Australian Building Code we do not suggest the installation of this product inside the shower area.

Application:
Option1
FIRST COAT
Product: CONCRETE FINISH
Apply 1 coat evenly with a venetian plaster trowel.
SECOND COAT
Product: CONCRETE FINISH
Proceed when the first coat is dry, being careful to apply it evenly by pressing and smoothing it, to create a flat surface without creases.
When the surface is still wet spray mist water (be careful of water dropping) and smooth it until you’ve flatten the surface.
When the surface is drying start the polishing. The smooth surface is the result of pressing the steel blade to the coating surface.
Option2
(For internal smooth plasterboard wall)
FIRST COAT
Product: CONCRETE FINISH
Apply 1 coat evenly with a venetian plaster trowel.
When the surface is still wet spray mist water (be careful of water dropping) and smooth it until you’ve flatten the surface.
When the surface is drying start the polishing. The smooth surface is the result of pressing the steel blade to the coating surface.
SURFACE FINISHING
Outside
After 48 hours apply 1 coats of EXTERNAL IMPREGNATING SEALER.
Inside
Let the surface dry out for at least 48 hours, then spread a coat of wax CERA DEL VECCHIO with a soft sponge and continue the application until the wall doesn’t absorb anymore.
Remove the excess of wax from the surface.
After about 30 minutes to 2 hours, proceed to rub with a non-woven fabric cloth (TNT, tissue-non-tissue) or mechanic polisher.
