We have technicians with over 15 years of Venetian Plaster application experience who were trained and worked all over Italy and Europe before coming over to America and it shows
Venetian plaster is a wall and ceiling finish consisting of plaster mixed with marble dust, applied with a spatula or
trowel in thin, multiple layers, which are then burnished to create a smooth surface with the illusion of depth and
texture. Venetian plaster techniques include marmorino, scagliola, and sgraffito. When left un-burnished,
Venetian plaster has a matte finish that is rough and stone-like to the touch. Un-burnished Venetian plaster
is also very brittle and damages rather easily.
When applied correctly, Venetian plaster can be used to create
a highly polished, rock-hard, marble-like finish. Venetian plaster is especially useful on surfaces where
marble panels could not be installed easily, and on surfaces that would be too expensive to have carved from
real marble such as columns, corbels and curved walls.
Venetian plaster can be tinted, or colored using natural or synthetic colorants. The ability to tint Venetian plaster
is especially helpful when a specific color of "marble" is desired, or when a color that does not exist naturally is wanted.
Unlike other so called installers, trained by videos and DIY steps from manufacturers, we have technicians trained
by Italian masters and who installed Venetian Plaster all over Italy and Europe for more than 15 years.
As with all Stucco, Fresco and Venetian Plaster wall cladding, the lime presence makes them a natural exterminator of insects and microorganisms, thus a very healthy and long lasting interior and exterior finish coat.
