Forged cement, patiti

Forged cement the chameleon of materials!

One of the most beloved materials of decorators and architects is the forged (patiti) cement mortar. We've all heard of it for some time, but maybe most of us do not know what this material is.

Well, the cement-maker's technique has been known since ancient times, in all the great cultures, east and west. Its name, "Patiti" in Greek, comes from the application technique, because in old times the cement mortar was compressed with the trowel until the surface becomes smooth and impermeable to water.

It is the material of freedom as the possibilities it gives us are limitless. It can be applied in exterior and interior areas, over any material (wood, tile, concrete, porcelain etc), to cover surfaces throughout the house.
