| The house painter considers
the coating as a “garnishing” mixture used in order
to wreathe the surface of the wall and in order to paint it.
The stucator considers the coating otherwise. According to
him, it is a mineral-material-based mixture in order to decorate
the wall. And, this last definition is the “historical” function
of what we call “the coating”: to protect the masonries
and to create a decorative aspect of the wall. |
|
| That is why we can undoubtedly say that
the coating as decorative function dates back to the beginnings
of Building, much more before the Antiquity. And the lime is
considered as Queen of decoration because you can build, coat,
decorate and paint with it. Plaster appears just after with
the mixture “plaster and lime”. |
