When to book Venetian plastering

Venetian plaster is a decorative finish rather than a base coat, chosen for walls that should stand out.

  • Feature wallsA chimney breast, hallway or lounge wall finished in Venetian plaster becomes the focus of the room.
  • A marble style lookThin layers of polished plaster build up a depth and sheen similar to polished stone.
  • Replacing paintVenetian plaster replaces paint with a textured, polished surface that has its own colour.

What happens on the day

Venetian plaster is built in layers, and each pass is worked with the trowel.

  • Prepare the baseThe wall is checked for flatness, sanded where needed and primed so the thin layers grip.
  • Lay thin coatsColoured plaster is laid on in thin crossing strokes, with each layer allowed to firm up.
  • Burnish and polishThe final layer is burnished with the trowel until the surface shines, then sealed.

Venetian plastering questions

Still have a question?

What is Venetian plaster?

Venetian plaster is a decorative finish made from thin layers of plaster burnished to a polished, marble style surface.

Does the wall need to be smooth first?

Yes. The base must be flat and sound, because the thin layers follow whatever is underneath.

Can I choose the colour?

Yes. The plaster is coloured, so you can pick a shade that suits the room.

Is Venetian plaster easy to keep clean?

Once sealed, the surface can be wiped over with a soft damp cloth.
