Ardhea is a single-layer mineral decorative coating capable of recreating the look of velvety marble, warm and soft to the touch. Its formulation with ceramic microspheres reduces the sensation of cold on the wall and provides perceived thermal comfort, making it ideal for modern, elegant, and sensorial spaces.

Ardhea is born from the encounter between material and light. This single-component, water-based decorative coating, formulated with concave ceramic microspheres and natural mica, gives surfaces a velvety and luminous appearance, with delicate mineral nuances.

Its lightweight, microcellular structure reduces the thermal conductivity of the wall, improving living comfort and making the space more stable and welcoming. It can be applied in a single coat on already painted surfaces, making it easily integrated into any design context, both contemporary and classic.

We've preserved its soul, and given it warmth. Ardhea isn't just an effect, it's a tactile experience: velvety, soft-touch, thermal marble.

A single coat, two colors, a new generation of surfaces: this is Ardhea, a marble you've never touched. A marble you don't expect.

And now the question is simple: do you choose the stone of yesterday or the material that breathes today?
