FAQ
Venetian Plaster
What is Venetian plaster?
Venetian Plaster, also known as polished lime plaster, is a paste made from limestone, marble dust, and other minerals. Generally, Venetian Plaster is used to create a smooth, highly polished, marble-like finish in any desired color. Due to Venetian Plaster’s composition,
after proper application, the paste reverts back into natural limestone and becomes more durable over time.
What is the difference between plaster and Venetian plaster?
What differentiates Venetian Plaster from other plasters is that it is ready to use, no need for addition of water. Its composition of lime and marble dust enhances the product’s durability while decreasing the chances of cracking. Unlike most plasters, Venetian Plaster is very breathable, can withstand humidity, and is mould/mildew resistant due to its high PH level.
Is Venetian plaster any good?
Venetian plaster is exceptionally durable and known to outlive any painted finish by many years. Not only does Venetian Plaster make a statement, but it is very low maintenance, mould/mildew resistant, and breathable. With proper care, Venetian Plaster can last a lifetime.
How much does it cost to do Venetian plaster?
Venetian plaster typically costs between $0.60 to $1.20 per sq ft for material. Labor ranges between $6-15 per sq ft.
Does Venetian plaster crack?
Venetian plaster is more likely to crack in older homes where there is movement or stress. If the base coat isn’t given enough time to properly cure, then minimal spider cracks may appear.
Is Venetian plaster cheaper than tiles?
Yes, Venetian Plaster is cheaper than tile! Venetian Plaster plus installation should cost roughly $12 per sq. ft. total. Depending on the type of tile, material and installation can range from $15-$20 per sq ft. Venetian Plaster is more cost effective and provides a beautiful polished finish!
Can Venetian plaster be used in a shower?
Venetian Plaster is very suitable for wet and humid areas, but it is not recommended in showers or locations with constant contact with water. Venetian Plaster is very breathable and can be applied on walls near a shower, whilst withstanding all the steam and minimal contact with water. Meoded Concretta FS is a more coarse and water resistant plaster than Venetian, perfectly suited for showers and wet locations.
Do you need to seal Venetian plaster?
No, you do not need to seal Venetian Plaster but it is recommended. Natural lime plasters are very absorbing, and a sealer or wax will make the finish more washable, water-repellent, protect from stains, and make it effortless to clean.
Does Venetian plaster go over drywall?
Yes, it does, but the wall needs to be a level 5 smooth finish. Before applying Venetian Plaster, it is recommended to apply Quartz Primer, a primer for Venetian Plaster.
