Venetian PLaster

Venetian plaster is distinguished by its smooth and shiny finish that imitates the appearance of marble . This feature not only adds elegance to the rooms, but also helps to make them brighter by reflecting natural light. Thanks to the composition based on lime and marble, Venetian plaster is extremely durable and resistant over time. It is suitable for both interiors and exteriors, maintaining its beauty unchanged for decades.

Lime, the main component of stucco, is a highly breathable material . This means that it allows the wall to breathe, preventing problems of humidity and mold . Furthermore, it can be colored with a wide range of natural pigments, allowing for an almost infinite customization of shades . Unique color effects can be obtained that range from the most delicate shades to the most intense colors.

Applying Venetian plaster requires skill and attention to detail. Here is a step-by-step guide for a perfect application:

* Surface Preparation : The surface must be clean, dry and free from dust or grease. Any imperfections must be leveled with a base coat.

* Primer Application : A specific primer for Venetian plaster is applied , which improves the adhesion of the product and prepares the wall to receive the subsequent layers.

* First Coat of Stucco : Spread a first coat of Venetian stucco with a stainless steel spatula using circular movements, taking care not to overlap the product and trying to obtain a uniform layer. This coat must dry completely before proceeding (we recommend waiting 4 hours).

* Second Coat and Finishing : Apply a second coat of filler, trying to create a smooth and polished effect. While drying, you can polish the surface with a clean spatula to obtain the marbled effect.

* Waxing : To further protect and polish the stucco, you can apply a natural wax. This step adds shine and makes the surface more resistant.

Venetian plaster is relatively easy to maintain, which adds to its appeal. To clean the surfaces, simply use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent . Avoid abrasive products or harsh chemicals that could damage the glossy finish. To preserve the shine and protection of the plaster, it is advisable to apply a coat of natural wax every 1-2 years, depending on the use and exposure of the surfaces. In the event of small scratches or chips, you can easily intervene with a touch-up using the material itself, following the instructions of a professional to ensure an invisible repair. Thanks to its breathability , Venetian plaster helps prevent the formation of humidity and mold, keeping the walls healthy and in excellent condition over time.
