and clays have been prevalent in construction throughout the ages. These
products of nature were adapted by combining elements, such as colors and
minerals, to develop the first wall coatings. Through man's ability and creative
genius, structures were transformed into warm, enjoyable living spaces.
Throughout the Mediterranean Plate, minerals such as quartz and kaolinite are at the origin of the ochreous earth. As for the range of colors, it remains today something of a mystery of nature, a process of evolution within the hills over millions of years.
The
colors of the region are so rich and intense that it has been a source of
inspiration for many artists. They are the colors of the earth, the sky, the
flowers, and the sea, brilliantly illuminated like nowhere else in the world.
Terramed is a natural ochre plaster made of clays from the Mediterranean basin combined with sand and cellulose. Cellulose is added in order to slow the drying process and bind the clay and sand together. One is able to achieve an effect that not only is beautiful but durable as well. There is no addition of chemicals in the composition. Only natural pigments made from the ochre extracted from the quarries around Provence are added to enhance some of the naturally colored clays. Terramed is entirely authentic, environmentally sound and non-toxic.
