Haptics & color

The basic mixtures of yellow, white, red and black can be combined to create countless intermediate shades or refined with up to 5% earth pigments or structurally effective additives. This variety of colors, combined with the visible craftsmanship, gives the clay casein surfaces their special feel.

Naturally

Clay casein is completely free from harmful solvents and preservatives. Material residues can be easily disposed of in the compost.

Fillered unique pieces

Clay casein is a fine filler based on clay and casein – a natural milk protein digested with lime that acts as a binding agent. The filler is produced in our studio in Schlins on the basis of a recipe developed by Martin Rauch. Applied to floors, walls or furniture with precision craftsmanship and finished with natural oils and waxes, seamless surfaces are created that are ecological, robust and can be experienced with the senses.

Properties

Seamless

As if cast from a single mold: surfaces with clay casein are smoothed without joints. For a high-quality finish, it is important to ensure a level and stable substrate. Clay casein is also suitable in combination with underfloor heating.

Structure & Color

The surface texture and color concept open up limitless design possibilities. The basic mixtures of yellow, white, red and black can be mixed together or supplemented with earth pigments or structurally effective additives such as natural fibers or gravel. The appearance and quality depend heavily on the craftsmanship.

Utilization

Clay casein surfaces are comparable to oiled and waxed wooden floors in terms of durability and care. Thanks to the surface treatment with linseed oil and carnauba wax, clay casein has good dirt and water-repellent properties.

Advantages

Haptics

The feel of clay casein surfaces is velvety, warm and lively. Barefoot, a clay casein floor cannot be compared with any other trowel floor or polished screed.

Aesthetics

Clay casein surfaces appear matt and elegant and gently absorb the light. Their natural appearance gives every room an unmistakable atmosphere.

Sustainable

Clay casein is a natural, ecological filler. Completely free from harmful solvents and preservatives, leftover material can be easily disposed of in the compost.

Versatile

Clay casein is a wonderful natural chemistry and sticks to all smooth, solid surfaces such as floors, walls and furniture. The mixture of materials and the spatula technique open up creative freedom - so every surface becomes unmistakably unique.
