Artful Plaster Finishes


Plaster finishes originated in ancient Rome and have been used throughout the centuries.

 

The play of light across a subtlely textured surface, creates a entirely new atmosphere in a room.

Have you always dreamed of living in a Tuscan, Venetian or Provencal inspired environment? Take any normal wall, column, alcove or countertop and imagine it transformed with one of our finishes.

Venetian Plaster

 

A high-end alternative to ordinary paint, faux finishes or wall coverings. Ranging from a glass-like, high gloss marble to a combination of distressed, stone-like, matted Tuscan or Terra finishes– created with multiple color washes to get the desired look.

Color combinations...

are endless, evoking a sense of ancient history or creating startling contemporary looks. Italian fresco inspired reds, Mexican terra-cotta's, Provencal blues, Venetian Verde marbles n' shimmering opalescents.

 


Shimmering Stone

 

Another Venetian plaster option is Shimmering Stone, which produces beautiful results with luminous undertones.

The hottest trend in home decorating is sheen and shimmer according to the Rohm and Haas Paint Quality Institute (PQI). Satin and silk-like decorating is growing in popularity from to luxurious textiles to shimmering walls. Shimmering Stone is embedded with small particles of mica and metallic pigments, much like The "Alexandrite Effect" exhibited in garnet and sapphire. A phenomenon in which a stone appears to be different colors depending upon the type of light.
