WhatsAppWhat 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.
