Cera Valpaint Wax
Cera Wax is used to protect and enhance the final effect of stucco.
Description
Cera Valpaint wax protects stucco and brings out its gloss - one litre covers 20-40 m² of decoration.
You apply it with a Venetian trowel after the third coat of stucco has dried, and once polished the wax is colourless, so it does not change the shade of the decoration. Work out the quantity for your area with the calculator on this page.
Most often it is used to bring out the gloss of polished stucco - you burnish it with a trowel or with a machine polisher fitted with a fur pad, working at second speed. If you are not sure how much wax your project needs, write or call us.
What is Cera stucco wax?
Cera Valpaint wax is a protective wax for stuccos, that is decorative plasters used indoors and outdoors. Once applied, it strengthens the decoration and deepens the colour and texture of the plaster. It is applied with a Venetian trowel and the surface is then polished with a soft cloth or with the trowel again. Once the wax is on, Rococo Venetian stucco needs no other form of protection.
What Cera wax gives you
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Coverage of 20-40 m² per litre | One tin handles a whole typical project - check the exact result for your area with the calculator on this page. |
| Strengthens the stucco | The decoration stands up better to everyday use, so the wax makes particular sense where the wall gets touched daily. |
| Deepens the colour and brings out the texture | The same stucco looks fuller once waxed - the final effect is showcased, not changed. |
| Colourless once polished | It does not alter the shade of the decoration, so one wax suits every stucco colour. |
| Resistant to water and detergents | You wash marks off without risking the decoration, and after the wax no other protection is needed. |
| Burnishing with a trowel or a fur-pad polisher at second speed | Two roads lead to the gloss - manual and mechanical - so you match the method to the size of the surface. |
Where Cera wax works best
This is the finish that closes a stucco project:
- bringing out the gloss of polished stucco - the most common use of this wax;
- protecting decorative stuccos inside and outside buildings;
- surfaces in frequent use or exposed to contact with water, which are meant to be easy to clean;
- mirror-effect projects, to which the wax adds depth.

Frequently asked questions about Cera wax
How many square metres does 1 litre of wax cover?
One litre covers from 20 to 40 m² of stucco surface. Work out the exact quantity for your area with the calculator on this page.
When is Cera wax applied?
After the third coat of stucco has dried. The wax is the final stage of the work - it additionally protects the decoration and shows off the achieved effect.
How do I apply and polish the wax?
You apply the wax with a Venetian trowel, then polish the surface with a soft cloth or with the trowel again. For burnishing you can also use a machine polisher with a fur pad, working at second speed.
Does the wax change the colour of the decoration?
No - once polished, the wax is colourless, which is why this product has no sample board and no testers. Instead of changing the shade, it deepens the colour and brings out the texture of the plaster.
Do I need any further protection after the wax?
No. Once the wax is applied, Rococo Venetian stucco needs no other form of protection - the surface is resistant to water and detergents.
How do I clean waxed stucco?
You wash marks off with water and a detergent - the waxed surface's resistance to both is exactly what makes it possible. That is particularly valuable on surfaces in frequent use or exposed to contact with water.
Which surfaces does Cera wax suit?
Stuccos, that is decorative plasters used indoors and outdoors. Most often it is used to bring out the gloss of polished stucco.
Why wax, if the stucco is already polished?
Polishing draws the gloss out of the stucco itself, and the wax adds two things on top: it strengthens the decoration and adds depth - which is why it is the most common finale of a mirror-effect project.
