Product Overview
COCCIOPESTO The discovery of hydraulic mortars is commonly attributed to the Romans, but it seems that the Phoenicians (already in the tenth century BC) they had knowledge. The tanks for drinking water were built by King Solomon in Jerusalem were protected with hydraulic mortars obtained by mixing lime with Cocciopesto. But the Romans were especially widely used in hydraulic mortars in the construction of roads, bridges, water pools, water tanks for the maintenance, but also temples and monuments of rare beauty. The recovery of this technique is bound to knowledge, choice and crushing of brick, brick chosen wisely and experience, and only this course can provide the quality necessary to obtain characteristics similar to those used in the past. By nature the Cocciopesto and a BIO-ECO material, contains no VOCs gas, and it is fully recyclable. In particular its hydraulic characteristics with appropriate technical manual processing, making it waterproof and breathable, therefore particularly suitable for coating baths and kitchens, and is highly recommended in the insulation of walls or floors in permanent contact with moisture 'very active especially in basements, or restoration of exterior or interior with serious moisture problems' all respecting the environment and pollution, with an old product and looking hot. With a correct application, respecting the criteria for implementation, Cocciopesto solve every problem humidity in every American home, with a touch of charm from the past.
Versione Italiana
COCCIOPESTO La scoperta delle malte idrauliche è comunemente attribuita ai Romani, ma sembra che anche i Fenici (già nel X secolo A.C.)ne avessero conoscenza.Le cisterne per l’acqua potabile fatte costruire da Re Salomone a Gerusalemme venivano protette con malte idrauliche ottenute mescolando calce con cocciopesto.Ma furono soprattutto i Romani ad utilizzare largamente le malte idrauliche nella costruzione di strade, ponti, acquedotti, piscine,vasche per il mantenimento dell’acqua,ma anche templi e monumenti di rara bellezza. Impastato con calce era utilizzato come rivestimento o componente per pavimentazione in ambienti, molto umidi, sfruttando l’alta capacità traspirante del Cocciopesto.La ripresa di questa tecnica è vincolata alla conoscenza, scelta e frantumazione del laterizio, mattoni scelti con criterio ed esperienza e solo questo può naturalmente offrire le qualità necessarie per ottenere caratteristiche simili a quelle usate nel passato.Per natura il Cocciopesto è un prodotto BIO-ECOLOGICO non contiene gas VOCs ed è totalmente riciclabile. In particolare le sue caratteristiche idrauliche associate ad opportune tecniche di lavorazione manuale lo rendono impermeabile e traspirante, quindi particolarmente adatto per il rivestimento di bagni e cucine, ed e altamente consigliato nell’isolamento di pareti o pavimenti a contatto permanente con umidita’ molto attiva in particolare locali sotterranei o per il risanamento di facciate esterne o interne con seri problemi di umidita’ il tutto rispettando l’ambiente con un prodotto antico e dall’aspetto caldo.Con una giusta applicazione rispettando i criteri di messa in opera il Cocciopesto risolverebbe ogni problema di umidita’in ogni casa Americana,con un tocco di fascino del passato.
