Your choice of finish
At bare we love introducing people to the beauty and benefits of mineral and earthen plasters. We work with a range of products including locally sourced natural plasters and premium European microcement and lime plasters.
Microcement
Microcement has been popular in Europe for decades and is fast becoming the finish of choice for interior designers and decorators across Australia.
When expertly applied, this is a beautiful, soft, matte finish which is also strong and is highly water resistant. It can also be applied in a range of spaces on many different substrates - including tiles, making it a great material choice for renovators.
Our premier partner for Microcement in Australia, Mineral Fox, provides a range of almost 90 colour options.
Ibiza Gypsum + Lime Plaster
Inspired by traditional plaster of the Spanish Balearic Islands, and made with the highest quality Australian minerals gysum and lime, Ibiza plaster 'breathes' on your walls.
Not only does it look beautiful, but it regulates moisture in the air and contributes to indoor air quality. Lime acts as a natural antibacterial agent and works to inhibit mould and bacteria.
It comes in its natural colour, off-white, and doesn't require painting, although custom colours are available for large projects.
Mediterranean Lime Render
Lime has been used to coat buildings around the world for centuries and is valued for its durability, antibacterial properties, and vapour permeability.
Mediterranean Lime Render is made with natural Australian materials - lime, white cement and marble - to create a beautiful soft finish, reflecting light from within. It is a natural 'breathing' material and contains no harmful additives or chemicals.
It is best for external applications and can be finishes in a smooth "off the trowel" style to heavily textured. It comes in natural white and does not need to be painted

How much will it cost?Our luxury bare finishes are achieved using the highest quality, natural plasters, mixed and applied by our specialist team; making this our premium service at Macquarie Renderers. As every job will have different requirements, unfortunately we cannot provide a general price by sqm. If you are interested in a quote we would be happy to discuss your requirements and provide this.

Can these products be applied directly over tiles?If your existing surface is in good condition i.e. no loose tiles, our bare materials can be specially applied directly to create the desired finish. This has many benefits including reducing the cost, time and hassle of demo on large scale projects.
