venetian plaster

Venetian plaster is a luxurious decorative finish that brings an elegant, timeless look to your interiors. This polished plaster technique, originating from ancient Italy, creates a smooth, marble-like surface with a rich, layered texture. Venetian plaster is applied in multiple thin layers, allowing for a high-gloss or matte finish that adds depth and sophistication to any space. It is highly durable, breathable, and resistant to mould, making it an excellent choice for residential and commercial interiors.

2.  Durability: It is highly durable and long-lasting, maintaining its beauty and integrity over time with minimal wear and tear. 

3.  Breathable: Venetian plaster is breathable, allowing walls to absorb and release moisture, which can help prevent mold growth.

2.  High Cost: Due to its labor-intensive application and premium materials, Venetian plaster is often more expensive than other finishes. 

3.  Prone to Scratches: The polished surface can be prone to scratches or scuffs, particularly in high-traffic areas. 

4.  Maintenance: While durable, it may require occasional reapplication or repairs to maintain its appearance, especially in high-use areas. 

5.  Not Suitable for Every Space: The luxurious nature of Venetian plaster might not suit every design style, particularly in more modern or industrial settings.
