Why using gypsum?

Gypsum is the main material used in IAD's productions.
It is a natural, eco-friendly, malleable and easy to work with element: for these reasons, since the Classic period, many artists have been able to create pieces of art that have survived until today, precious historical and artistic artefacts of humankind. As far as regards its classical production, Italian Art Decoration uses the same traditional materials without any change in its standard formula, however we are constantly committed to seeking new gypsums, new additives and new materials in order to fully satisfy the designers' requirements, especially where a greater regard for natural environment, lightness of the product, ruggedness, fire resistance and ease of installation are required.
