Authentic Venetian plaster is the most authentic veneer wall finish you can have. When natural, lime-based venetian plaster is applied it will eventually return to it’s original state, which is lime and marble, AKA stone.
True Italian Venetian plaster is actually a wonderful choice for surfaces that will get wet. Lime plasters perform extremely well in wet climates by simply allowing any water that is absorbed into the plaster to quickly evaporate and exit the structure. That’s why they’re called Venetian plaster, because they can tolerate rising damp and canal-side applications like in the lagoons of Venice that would cause failure in acrylic and cement plasters.
Our materials are manufactured in Italy in the middle of the Veneto Region, near Venice, under the supervision of masters, artisans and installers. This area is well-known for being one of the richest in Italian architectural heritage and artisanship.
Our lime plasters are extremely durable and less prone to shrinking and cracking than traditional cement finishes. A breathable system, our lime plasters allow water vapor to permeate freely so moisture evaporates quickly, unlike acrylic finishes which can trap moisture inside the wall.
When lime plasters cure, the result is hard-as-stone, long-lasting mineral coating. The natural, oxide pigment system results in the preservation of lasting color in your walls.
Non-toxic and green, our lime plasters are ideal for interiors. Applied as a two- or three-coat veneer system, your walls will be left with excellent absorption and diffusion characteristics, leading to optimal indoor air quality.
Naturally high in pH, lime finishes act as an anti-bacterial surface, neutralizing the development of organic substances such as mold and fungus.
Benefits of venetian stucco: crack resistant, very breathable, self healing, wets and dries out fast, naturally mould resistant, time tested, solvent free, natural & green.
