What is Venetian Plaster?
Graced by the Roman's dating back 7,500+ years ago, now imported all the way from Italy & Europe, venetian plaster is a luxurious wall finish made of lime putty and marble dust.
The lime putty base is made from the mixture of fired/slaked limestone and water. The addition of marble dust to plaster allowed the production of fine detail and a hard, smooth finish achieving the look of limestone and marble.
​
Italian plaster is NOT a faux finish. A faux finish is meant to mimic the look of another genuine finish as to here we are applying a veneer stone finish to your walls. It has a look that can not be achieved with paint and glaze.
Unlike other wall finishes, Venetian Plaster has a unique mineral composition. It has undoubted advantages which came from its excellent breathability. Venetian Plaster prevents moisture from accumulating inside the wall finish. This causes it to be resistant to mold, mildew and bacteria.
​
On top of all these benefits, it is like adding a veneer stone to your walls so not only are you protecting them better than any paint job but it will last much longer as well.
