Venetian Polish Plaster

VENETIAN PLASTER – decorative tints – contains real marble dust which adds to the beauty of the finish. Traditional Venetian plaster is made of lime or gypsum and applied overlaths, which are horizontal strips of wood, fastened to the joists and studs of a wall.

Venetian Polish becomes fully washable three weeks after application. It is non-toxic. You control the sheen level of the finish by the amount of sanding and burnishing done on the finish plaster coat. Various looks are possible with the Venetian Plaster system, such as polished marble, stone, or suede. The more the surface is polished the more translucent the finish becomes; this translucency creates the depth seen in real marble. The finishis so smooth it feels like genuine marble. In fact, Venetian Plaster was formulated to imitate a complicated ‘Old World’ Italian technique called “Scagliola”.
