But in Italy we are full of ancient villages where, the natural element, stone, is the building element par excellence.

If you are our customer or follow our social pages, you will have already heard or read something about the Decorative Petra produced by Resin Color.
What is Decorativo Petra?
Petra is precisely a decorative that is used to embellish, highlight, give prominence to a wall in your home with a natural stone effect, hence the name Petra.
Yes that’s right, at the sight of a wall covered in Petra, you will have the feeling of a natural stone wall.
Resina Color’s Petra is composed of bicarbonate slaked lime mixed with marble powder and vegetable additives, all of which have always been natural materials, which precisely you find in nature, so a return to the eco-friendly.
what is different about the Petra we have always produced at the Petra I am telling you about today?
Resistance to water, weathering, and temperature change so, today Petra is an excellent decorative product for outdoor use as well.
But how did we arrive at the birth of this product?
Of course, like any self-respecting company, Resina Color goes in continuous research of materials to create new and innovative products for the satisfaction of different customer needs.
Here it is that from a customer, who was fascinated by the natural stone walls of the Pugliese masserie, where the lime blends well with the Murgia living stone, after using Petra for the interior wall of his house, he requested a decorative product that would enhance the walls of his house, even on the outside.
And so that to the Petra, composed of bicarbonate slaked lime, mixed with marble powder and vegetable additives, glass fibers were added to give the product, many other features such as weather resistance, or easier and more flexible application for those unfamiliar with applying decors, or the compactness and strength of the product but at the same time flexibility and resistance to micro-cavillations (so great for novice decorators).
What are micro-cracks? They are those small lesions and cracks that can tamper with the final result in some decors if not worked on and applied by experienced personnel.
To complete the outdoor operation, the Petra was treated, and thus also protected, with “Velo Antico,” another of our Platinum line decors.
The Petra decorative from Resina Color will allow you to have various decorations and range with your imagination in its decoration.
Thanks to decorative trowels you can achieve a decorative Petra with:
- crack effect;
- crack effect;
- antique effect.
But to better understand the different patterns in decorating it, I refer you to the video where you will notice how easy it is to apply and decorate it making your wall, your home, your store or whatever you want to decorate so that an ‘anonymous wall acquires life, the kind that is perceived in the old buildings of the past.
