Adding to our host of Faux finishes, FauxPaul offers one of a kind custom Venetian Plasters. These Italian plasters have been developed for generations dating back to ancient Rome and have most recently become some of the most sought after finishes. Whether its a Suede Plaster or a highly polished and waxed Venetian Plaster you're looking for ....We have it. We are familiar with over 70 different Plasters from 16 different distributors in the U.S. and around the world. True Venetian plasters are steeped in History and are basically the same as they were in the rennaisance. Venetian Plaster is the pinnacle of the Faux Finish Industry and a labor of love and respect here at FauxPaul. Venetian Plaster walls are natural green, and a gift from the earth. It is literally color marble trowelled on the walls and when its installed and finished properly, the walls have the look, depth and pattern of a sheet of polished marble. Its even cold to the touch! We don't use cheap products such as Behr Venetian Plaster, we use Marmorino Venetian Plaster and Vero-Rialto. In order to get the best finish its neccessary to use the best plaster.
A Venetian Plaster finish can range in sheen and texture from a smooth highly polished marble-like finish to a distressed, stone-like Tuscan appearance. Using actual ground limestone and marble dust in a lime putty, walls can have the authentic feel of stone. We can apply this special plaster in an infinite variety of color combinations to coordinate and enhance your décor. Venetian Plaster is applied with a trowel in multiple layers, which determines the color and dimension of the finished wall. The surface is literally a layer of stone more durable than drywall and up to 1/8" thick. The result is an allergy free, mildew resistant, and long lasting durable finish.
Much like fine red wine, your sealed Venetian Plaster finish will not fade, but will become more beautiful with age, adding to the uniqueness and value of your home or business.
