Ferrara Design products are developed as complete systems, not standalone paints - primer, decorative layer and protection working together for consistent, high-end results.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Application Technique Matters
Most failures come from
- Incorrect surface preparation
- Rushed drying times
- Wrong primer for the chosen effect
What you gain
- Predictable coverage
- Controlled working time
- Clean, repeatable decorative effects
THE PROCESS
A System, Not Just a Paint
Surface Preparation (Critical)
Freshly skimmed walls: 5–10 days dryingBefore applying any decorative finish, the wall must be properly cured. Walls with repairs or patching need 12–24 hours minimum, depending on depth and humidity. Skipping this step leads to uneven absorption, visible marks and reduced durability — this drying window is an advantage, not a delay.
Choosing the Right Primer System
Ferrara Design offers dedicated primers depending on the desired effect. All primers are pre-diluted with 20–40% clean water, depending on surface absorption.
| Primer | Best for | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Fondo Ricco | Cross (X) patterns and rich textures | 8–10 m²/litre |
| Fondo Ruvido | Diagonal and brushed effects | 7–8 m²/litre |
| Fondo Forte | Extra grip / challenging substrates | Varies by substrate |
