FAQs

What is the coverage of one Tintoretto bundle?

Each bundle of Impera Italia Tintoretto is designed to cover approximately 6-8 square meters, depending on the application thickness and technique used.

Does this product require a special primer?

Yes, a primer is included in the bundle and is essential for achieving the best results and optimal adhesion of the Tintoretto finish. Ensure it is applied correctly before Tintoretto.

Can Tintoretto be used in a bathroom?

Tintoretto is intended for interior walls and is best suited for areas without constant high humidity or direct water exposure. While it can be used in a well-ventilated bathroom, it's not recommended for shower areas.

How do I achieve the 'Venetian plaster' look?

The Venetian plaster effect is achieved through specific application techniques using a trowel or applicator to create characteristic lines and variations in texture. Practicing on a test surface is recommended to master the desired effect.

What is the finish like?

Tintoretto provides a matt, non-reflective finish with a unique, soft, suede-like texture to the touch.

Can I paint over Tintoretto if I want a change later?

While possible, painting over a textured finish like Tintoretto can be challenging. It is generally recommended to remove or prepare the surface thoroughly before applying a new finish.

What materials are used?

The product is made using the finest Italian materials, ensuring quality and authenticity in its finish.

Troubleshooting

Product is difficult to spread or is clumping.

Ensure the surface is properly primed and that the product has not dried out. Stir the product thoroughly before and during application. If the product is too thick, a very small amount of water might be added as per manufacturer instructions, but avoid over-diluting.

Uneven texture or color.

This often relates to application technique. Ensure consistent pressure and trowel strokes. Work in small sections, maintaining a wet edge to blend seamlessly. Practice on a sample board to perfect your technique before applying to the main surface.

Lines are not prominent enough.

Apply the product with slightly more texture, allowing for more distinct strokes with your applicator. Ensure you are not over-smoothing the surface after the initial application. Bold colors tend to show lines more effectively.

Surface feels rough after drying.

This is part of the intended suede-like texture. If it feels excessively rough, it may indicate inconsistent application or insufficient drying time before handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris before application. Apply the included primer evenly and allow it to dry completely according to its instructions. Once the primer is ready, Tintoretto can be applied following the manufacturer's guidelines, typically with a specific trowel or applicator to achieve the desired texture.

Compatibility: Tintoretto is designed for interior walls. It is compatible with most standard plasterboard, plaster, and previously painted surfaces, provided they are properly prepared and primed with the included primer. Avoid application in areas with high humidity or constant moisture.

Care: To maintain the finish, gently clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the delicate texture. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
