MINERAL. TEXTURED. ALIVE.
Feature walls that feel handmade
Purecote is our mineral coating built for feature walls — a breathable plaster system that balances smooth calm with tactile depth. Designed for tropical humidity, it keeps interiors dry and comfortable while giving every wall a quiet, handcrafted presence.
Textured surfaces require a clear system for depth, breathability, and the tropical world
Altarize’s Purecote is a mineral-based plaster applied by hand to create surfaces with genuine depth — from calm, minimalist planes to richer, more expressive textures, all while staying breathable in humid conditions.
TAILORED FOR YOUR WALLS
We create textured, breathable finishes
Depth without heaviness
Purecote is built to add tactile richness to a wall without overwhelming a space. Its mineral composition allows for subtle variation in texture and tone, giving feature walls a sense of depth that changes with the light throughout the day.
Calm or expressive, your choice
Applied by hand, Purecote can be finished smooth for calm, minimalist interiors, or worked into richer textures for spaces that call for more character. The same mineral system adapts to both, without compromising breathability or durability.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our Purecote finish, application process, and performance in tropical conditions.
What's the difference between Purecote and Limewash?
Both are breathable mineral finishes, but Purecote offers more textural range — from smooth and minimal to richly tactile — while limewash typically stays soft and matte. Many clients combine both across a single space for contrast.
Is Purecote suitable for humid environments?
Yes. Purecote is a breathable plaster system designed specifically for tropical humidity, allowing moisture to pass through the surface rather than get trapped, which helps prevent mold and dampness.
Can Purecote be used alongside other Altarize finishes like Finoplast?
Absolutely. Purecote and Finoplast are often paired within the same interior — Purecote for calm, smooth planes and Finoplast for richer, textured feature walls — creating contrast while staying within one mineral system.
How long does Purecote take to install?
Installation time depends on the size and texture complexity of the wall. Our team will confirm the exact timeline during the site inspection and sampling stage.
