What exactly is Italian Polished Plaster (also referred to as Venetian Plaster, Stucco or Marmorino)?
Italian Polished Plaster is a thin, decorative, plaster coating applied in multiple layers, which are then troweled to a high-gloss or matte finish prior to being sealed with a waterbased wax sealant.
Beautiful. Soft. Luminescent.
The ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, Japan, and Mesoamerica built structures of lime that stand today. Lime exudes a natural, soft, iridescent, almost translucent depth of color so that light seems to go deeper than in modern cements and finishes.
Practical. Durable. Flexible.
Beyond its natural beauty, limestone is a pragmatic material. It breaths. It withstands damp, wet climates. It’s alkalinity makes it naturally mold and mildew resistant. It’s easy to patch while fresh, and during construction, it can naturally fill in small cracks that might form. It’s produced without harmful chemicals or byproducts.
