DecoFinish

Technical Characteristics

AUREUM by OIKOS is a decorative finish with a golden tone created using lime putty and golden powders with a low environmental impact. The shades of AUREUM derive from the colours of the earth and the warm tones of nature; combining elements from specific historical research with a deep understanding of contemporary technology, has made it possible to give rise to a product with regal, golden properties that adapt themselves to both modern and traditional settings. The product makes it possible to achieve precious and elegant finishes in various golden tones, creating,
according to the sources of light and the angle at which the surface is looked at, lavish patterns on a golden texture; furthermore, the vivaciousness of the golden reflections, lights up the wall, giving it the setting an unmistakeable elegance with silky sensation to the touch. AUREUM is regal alchemy, gold on the walls.

The product is non inflammable and friendly to both humans and the environment.

Ideal Use

Decoration of interior walls and surfaces.

Surface Preparation

Clean the surface to be decorated, removing any loose or flaking material. Apply a coat of the fixative IL PRIMER by OIKOS in order to insure perfect adhesion. Screed the surface with PASTE SCREED FOR WALLS by OIKOS.

Application Method

For an impeccable finish, apply AUREUM in two coats using the special Inox steel trowel by OIKOS (art.113):

o First coat: proceed to spread a thin coat of AUREUM directly on the PASTE SCREED FOR WALLS, making large trowel marks to completely cover the surface. Wait 6 ÷ 8 hours until dry.

o Finish: apply a very thin coat of product, partially overlapping the trowel marks and gently smoothing the surface with the blade of the trowel; after approximately one hour, pass over the surface for a final time to fully smooth the finish.

o Finish and Protection: In order to make the surface more water proof and obtain a greater level of washability, after 4 ÷ 5 days, apply CERA PER RAFFAELLO by OIKOS
