Romabio | Velatura Mineralwash

Romabio Velatura Mineralwash is a premium zero-VOC mineral-based interior paint designed to create soft, layered, and cloud-like movement on walls. Its potassium silicate mineral formula produces a very flat matte finish with subtle tonal variation, making it ideal for wabi-sabi interiors, old-world European designs, bedrooms, living rooms, and decorative feature walls. Velatura delivers the look of a handcrafted mineral finish without requiring traditional plaster or glaze techniques.

• Cloud-like movement creates soft tonal variation and depth.
• Very flat matte finish gives walls an artistic mineral appearance.
• Two-layer system allows you to control how subtle or dramatic the finish appears.
• Zero VOC for a more comfortable interior application experience.
• Mineral-based formula made with potassium silicate binders and sustainable materials.
• DIY-friendly method with clear dilution ratios for each coat.
• Seamless blending allows multiple applicators to work on the same wall.
• No plaster or glaze required to create soft, dimensional movement.

• Ensure the surface is clean, dry, sound, and cohesive.
• Remove dust, grease, dirt, loose paint, and unstable material.
• Repair holes, cracks, and surface defects before painting.
• Prime bare drywall and other absorbent surfaces with the appropriate Romabio mineral primer.
• Allow repaired or primed areas to dry fully before application.
• Recommended application temperature: 50°F to 90°F.
• Avoid application in direct sunlight or where surface condensation is present.

• Plan to complete the entire wall section without long interruptions.
• Use the same brush style and movement throughout the project.
• Split the product before starting so enough material remains for the diluted second coat.
• Use clean water and accurate measuring containers for consistent dilution.
• Mix thoroughly before and during application.

For accurate measuring, use E-Z Mix Disposable Mixing Cups .

1. Split the container: Reserve half of the product for the second coat.
2. Dilute if required: Apply undiluted or add up to 5% clean water for smoother flow.
3. Apply by brush: Use a crosshatch or multidirectional brush technique for even coverage.
4. Maintain consistency: Keep the same brush movement across the entire wall.
5. Allow to dry: Wait approximately 4-6 hours before applying the second coat.

Container Size	Half Reserved for First Coat	Optional 5% Water
1 L	500 ml	Add up to 25 ml water
2.5 L	1.25 L	Add up to 62 ml water
15 L	7.5 L	Add up to 375 ml water

1. Use the reserved product: Begin with the portion saved before the first coat.
2. Select your dilution: Add 50%-80% clean water based on the desired movement.
3. Apply by brush only: Work in soft, overlapping crosshatch movements.
4. Blend gently: Avoid repeatedly brushing areas once the desired effect appears.
5. Stop at the right time: Overworking can reduce the visible tonal movement.
6. Allow to dry: Wait approximately 4-6 hours.

• Feather adjoining sections together before the material begins to dry.
• Keep brush pressure and movement consistent across the wall.
• Use a soft sponge only when controlled blending is required.

• What does Velatura Mineralwash look like?
  It creates a soft, very flat matte finish with layered colour movement and a cloud-like appearance.
• Is Velatura the same as limewash?
  No. Velatura is an interior potassium silicate mineral paint designed for controlled cloud-like movement. Classico Limewash is an authentic slaked-lime coating primarily intended for absorbent masonry.
• Can Velatura be used on drywall?
  Yes. It can be used on properly prepared painted drywall. Bare drywall should be primed with the appropriate Romabio mineral primer first.
• Can I use a roller?
  The decorative finish is created by brush application. A brush is required to produce the intended movement and layered appearance.
• How many coats are required?
  Two coats are used. The first creates the base layer, and the diluted second coat creates the cloud effect.
• What is the difference between 50% and 80% dilution?
  A 50% dilution creates more defined movement. An 80% dilution creates a softer and more blended cloud effect.
• Can multiple people work on one wall?
  Yes, provided everyone uses the same dilution, brush, pressure, and application movement.
• Can Velatura be used outdoors?
  No. Velatura Mineralwash is intended for interior use.
• Can Velatura be ordered in custom colours?
  Yes. Visit the Velatura Mineralwash Custom Colours listing for made-to-order colour options.
