Ornante Eterna fresco is a material for the decoration of buildings facades inspired by the most-developed technique of wall painting, called al fresco, developed in the Renaissance. It was based on walls decorations made by a painter in the form of paintings created by applying paints on wet plaster. Authentic fresco or buon fresco depended on the artist's whims, demanded incredible artist's skill and its creation consumed a huge amount of time.
Today, hand-painted decorations on the walls, also called polychromes, are rare and, due to the very high costs, are reluctantly chosen.

The base of the Ornante Eterna fresco is a flexible bearing layer on which the wall texture with the use of natural plaster and artistic techniques is formed. An optional element may be, depending on the choice of the final effect, the finishing of the plaster with an intermediate varnish. Subsequent to the previously prepared plaster texture, any image can be reproduced using ecological water-based paints.
The intensity of the colors remains the choice. As standard, the material produced has colors imitating classical wall paintings, and therefore delicate, not very intense, slightly faded. The choice of the VIVID option makes the colors of the fresco more decisive and more saturated.
After the application of water-based paints, the refinement of the product in the form of the final varnish is optionally available. The final production stage is impregnation and giving the material a protective layer that makes it durable and protects the graphic motif against minor damage or loss of color. The degree of gloss of the protective layer can also be chosen according to the availability, e.g. matte or glossy finish.

The Ornante Eterna fresco surface is waterproof. Ornante Eterna can be used primarily on the facades of buildings on walls exposed to unfavorable weather conditions. In addition, Ornante Eterna is ideal for public spaces where high strength of material is very important.
The Ornante Eterna fresco installation technique is based on a fiberglass base heavy wallpapers installation technique. The Ornante Eterna adhesive is applied directly on the wall, and then subsequent fresco blocks are being arranged. Ornante Eterna, due to its thickness and weight, adheres very well to the wall and does not wrinkle. Ornante Eterna is particularly suitable for uneven and porous facade walls where there is a possibility of cracks and scratches on the wall. On difficult surfaces, the masking properties of Ornante Eterna are particularly appreciated by customers.
Ornante Eterna installation begins on the previously prepared substrate. The mounting surface can be any type of mineral plaster, concrete, bricks, as well as wooden substrates. The perfect foundation for the Ornante Eterna fresco are substrates covered with emulsion paints, which only require cleaning from dirt and degreasing. The majority of substrates in the final phase of preparation for bonding should be primed with a solution of a wallpaper glue or a primer.
Ornante Eterna installation should be carried out at a temperature of +10 to + 20 ° C on walls not heated by the sun. It is important that the ambient temperature is not high, because it affects the properties of the Ornante Eterna adhesive. Since the temperature depends on the time of soaking the fresco panels with glue and the speed of its drying on the wall. Before mounting, all fresco rollers should be laid down in a given room to check their quality and shade.
The matching of the neighboring Ornante Eterna fresco blocks takes place using the overlap technique with a double cut. By making the correct wavy cut at the same time of the two neighboring fresco blocks we get a perfect match, and thanks to the wavy shape of the cut it is difficult to capture for the human eye.
The final assembly stage of Ornante Eterna is the application of Ornante Eterna impregnation on a glued mural. Impregnation of the fresco is aimed at increasing the durability of the plaster to moisture and sealing gaps in the places where the fresco panels are joined.
Ornante guarantees Eterna's resistance to weather conditions when using Eterna installation materials and following the installation instructions.
