WHAT IS VENETIAN PLASTER / LIME PLASTER?

Venetian plaster has been around for many centuries, dating as far back as the Roman times. Its use became more prevalent in the more recent Renaissance period in Venice where the Marmorino finish was introduced. Authentic Venetian plaster is 100% natural because it is slaked lime putty that is mixed with marble dust, kaolin, quartz or other aggregates to produce a variety of decorative plasters (Venetian plaster and "lime plaster" are the same).

​

Venetian plaster is more commonly applied by trowel, but other decorative techniques allow for different application methods for truly beautiful and bespoke plaster finishes. Once the lime plaster is applied to a surface and exposed to the carbon dioxide in the air it starts the process to return to its original limestone state. This means Venetian plaster starts as limestone and after it is applied and cured it turns back into limestone.

BENEFITS OF VENETIAN PLASTER / LIME PLASTER

  • ECO FRIENDLY:

    • Lime plaster is nontoxic and does NOT release any VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) into the environment.

  • ABSORBS CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2):

    • When lime plaster is exposed to the CO2 in the air it starts its curing process to turn back into limestone. This curing process means it improves the air quality of your home by absorbing carbon dioxide.

  • PREVENTS  MOLD & MILDEW:

    • The high pH levels in lime plaster acts as a natural fungicide and helps prevent mold and mildew.

  • DURABLE AND TIMELESS:

    • Lime plaster finishes are durable in both a physical and aesthetic sense. Unlike other materials, lime plaster becomes harder and more durable over time. The durability and beautiful finish make it a great investment for your home that is sure to pass the test of time.

  • LOW MAINTENANCE:

    • Venetian plaster surfaces can be easily cleaned with a soft microfiber cloth. Minor scuffs can be lightly sanded with very fine sandpaper and wax can be reapplied to achieve a "good-as-new" surface.
