Pros of using Venetian plaster
The materials utilised to create this sort of plaster are low-maintenance and long-lasting.
Venetian polished plaster is virtually as adaptable as paint and can be applied to walls, floors and ceilings throughout your home. It has the appearance of marble shine or matt, but is more cost-effective and thinner so you don’t lose as much floor space when installed.
It is breathable, mould-resistant and mildew-resistant, and has a visual impact and wow factor. Venetian polished plaster is a natural product and does not release hazardous gases, usually it has a very low V.O.C rating.
Types oF venetian plaster
Marmorino
Travertino
Travertino
Marmorino plaster comes in fine, medium or large grains. The larger the grain, the less glossy the effect. Marmorino fine is great for a polished gloss finish, with larger grained Marmorino used for a stony look. We can also produce a metallic finish by adding paraffin or beeswax with metal glitter or flakes such as silver or gold.

Grassello
Travertino
Lime concrete

Lime concrete
Lime concrete
Lime concrete
Lime concrete is a fine-grained Venetian plaster made with a mixture of lime Marmorino and gypsum plaster and can be used to create a beautifully textured, matte concrete finish. The gypsum and resin binder also allows us to achieve a concrete look, but polish to a high shine, to create a polished concrete finish.
Microcement
Lime concrete
Microcement
Microcement has similar properties to Marmorino, but is a much stronger, cement-based product. Mixed with resin and hydraulic binders, it is waterproof, making it perfect for seamless floors, wet rooms and swimming pools. A polyurethane top sealant can also be added to enhance its waterproof, anti-scratch and anti-slip properties.
Tadelakt
Lime concrete
Microcement
Tadelakt is a waterproof and decorative plaster with a distinct, mottled appearance. It is a natural, lime-based plaster and it can be tinted to almost any colour, meaning that it can be used to create colourful surfaces that don't require painting. Tadelakt has a subtle but luxurious sheen that creates a finish that's reminiscent on natural stone.
