Lets Get Started With Your Venetian Plaster

Venetian plaster is typically applied over sheetrock, or sometimes referred to as drywall board. The wall need to be a level four or five for a smooth wall. In Texas are wall are usually textured so we smooth lots of wall prior to the Venetian Plaster installation. Once we have selected a color we would do a color sample of the plaster.

Venetian Plaster is applied with a stainless steel trowel inch by inch maintaining a consistent movement across the surface. The final coat is compressed with the trowel before the plaster dries. Described as burnishing this technique closes off the plaster and brings the marble to the surface. Additionally, it brings out the transparent textures adding depth to the finish. Every applicator has a unique hand and technique and that is the Art of Venetian Plaster.
