Immerse your walls in the rich, organic depth of Velur Matte Glaze in Burnt Umbrian, a mineral-based color wash inspired by aged earth pigments and the rugged warmth of the Italian countryside. This deep, grounded brown carries subtle warm undertones that bring out texture beautifully—settling into stucco and mineral plasters with an understated, timeworn character. Applied as a soft wash, Burnt Umbrian reads refined and calm; layered and worked longer, it becomes more dramatic and architectural, creating shadow and dimension without looking heavy. Because Velur is breathable and designed to absorb rather than form a surface film, the finish feels integrated with the wall—durable, authentic, and resistant to cracking or peeling. It’s a versatile choice for both traditional and contemporary spaces, delivering a handcrafted, Old-World sensibility with modern performance.
Velur Glaze is a silicone/mineral-based glaze, specially formulated to enhance the beauty and longevity of mineral-based surfaces. Designed for both interior and exterior use, this versatile glaze is water-dilutable and interacts seamlessly with textured surfaces such as stucco and mineral plasters, creating natural transitions of color and depth.
Ideal for professional artisans, decorative painters, and designers, Velur offers excellent control over saturation and opacity, allowing delicate tonal variations and seamless blending. Whether applied with a brush or specialty faux finishing tools, Velur glaze absorbs into the texture like a stain—maintaining a breathable, long-lasting finish that won’t crack, peel, or form an unwanted film.
Spread rate: Velur glaze can be diluted up to 500% with water. Spread rates vary depending on dilution and final opacity desired.

TIPS
Testing and thinning your glaze. The amount of glaze you mix up depends on the intensity or opacity of color your desire and size of the area you are working on. Velur glaze is very concentrated and can be diluted up to 500% with water. Test an area to determine how strong or opaque you want the final glazed finish to be.
Work from the top down. When glazing, experience tells us it easier to work from the top of the wall to the bottom. If you start at the bottom and work upward, any drips or spills occurring can damage already treated lower portion finish.
Working over stucco or mineral based surfaces. It may be helpful to wet the surface to be glazed with water first to allow your pre-tinted Velur glaze to move freely over the surface. Applying glaze directly to dry stucco or mineral based surfaces may 'stain' the area and not allow the glaze to move evenly.

This decorative effect creates the appearance of floating color. Soft and watery, or bold and striking. The color density varies over the surface and creates appearances from parchment to the softness of an evening sky or the deepness of watery depths. A subtle finish, with little texture, it is an ideal effect to create mood in a room, background ambience. When using earth tones the color wash can have a slightly aged appearance and is ideal for irregular wall surfaces.
