Venetian plaster

February 5th, 2007

This refined and elegant covering intended for furnish of walls, and also various architectural surfaces such as eaves, columns, etc. It can be used both in the form of a final covering, and in the form of final furnish. It is put on preliminary prepared surfaces, such as plaster, front putty, etc. As the result, after drawing a covering, the surface gets the well-known effect of “The Venetian plaster”.  

The techniques of drawing (if to consider it as a sequence of the certain receptions) are rather simple. At the beginning the absolutely smooth surface of a wall is grounded with a water-diluted paint, and after drying accurately and consistently, the plaster is layerly put. The first layer is usually put by means of the wide spattle, and all the subsequent layers are recommended to be put by the narrow one. Before putting the subsequent layer, the previous one should be completely dried up. Then, each put layer is to be carefully leveled and grounded. “The Venetian plaster” is easily shaded. 

Nowadays, choosing the appropriate color tones for the plaster, you will receive the whole spectrum of various kinds of a marble - from its known grades up to such tones which would coincide with your taste and your imagination. “The Venetian plaster” is quite an inexpensive material, but the work on its stacking costs approximately 2 times more expensive as the final effect entirely and completely depends on masters’ professionalism.
