Decorative plaster

It is difficult to describe finishing materials, because there are indeed no words in our human tongues powerful enough to convey the beauty of some of them. Even the most masterful photographs cannot always reflect the textural properties and functional potential of some of the finishing materials. Take a look at the “Venetian plaster” – behind the marbly gloss and deep glow, there are the breath of antiquity, the nobility of classical art and the beauty of the Renaissance.
Due to the wide variety of its types, decorative plaster places no limitations on the designer’s imagination. Unique decorative coatings for walls and ceilings are obtained using it. Decorative plaster will give your room a unique style. You can get exactly the relief and surface colours you need. With the help of decorative plaster, you can add the “cracks” effect to an old wall, or, on the contrary, give it an absolutely smooth and glossy surface.

Venetian plaster. This phrase appeared as a result of the literal translation of the term ‘stucco veneziano’. It is a decorative multi-layer coating. This kind of plaster mix is produced with the addition of marble chips and slaked lime. Its structure is fairly homogeneous. It became widespread in ancient Rome, where a lot of dust and small particles remained on the floors of workshops where marble was processed. They later began using the dust and particles as a finishing material.

Visually, the finished layer resembles the surface of natural marble or onyx. Correct finishing with the use of Venetian plaster requires particular mastery. It should be applied with a flexible rubber spatula, with thin strokes, in several layers (5 or 6), each layer requiring thorough drying. The material is quite expensive, but the resulting effect fully justifies the high costs. Most often, Venetian plaster is used as an element of antique- or classical-style interiors. It is also used in Baroque-styled interiors.

Thanks to a variety of application methods, a surface can be rendered matte or glossy. The plaster is intended for indoor use only. The mixture can be tinted. It is available in containers of 8 and 16 kg. The surface to be decorated must be clean, even and dry. Before facing, it is recommended to pre-reinforce and then putty and prime the walls. Failure to follow the technological guidelines can lead to the formation of cracks on the decorative plaster, which are very difficult to get rid of.

Apart from a stone surface, Venetian plaster can imitate precious metals, if coloured using special pigments. Applied in interior design, this type of finishing material can make a room appear more spacious thanks to light refraction. This kind of coating often serves as the basis for complex panels and frescoes.
