Description: Originating in ancient Rome and refined during the Venetian Renaissance, Venetian plaster is composed of slaked lime and marble powder. Applied in fine layers and polished by hand, it delivers finishes ranging from smooth and polished to rustic and textured. The lime base makes it breathable, mold-resistant, and compatible with both modern and heritage architecture.

Advantages:

• Natural aesthetic: Offers a soft, marble-like finish with subtle tonal variations.
• Durability: Long-lasting and resistant to cracking when applied properly.
• Breathability: Allows moisture to escape, reducing the risk of mold and dampness.
• Eco-friendly: Venetian plaster is toxin-free, non-toxic, and doesn't emit harmful chemicals or odours.
• Versatile: Venetian plaster can be used on a variety of surfaces, including curved walls, and can create a wide range of customizable finishes. Suitable for non-wet areas in bathrooms, kitchens, living areas, and even furniture.
• Custom finishes: Available in matte, satin, or glossy effects and tintable in a wide range of colors.

Types of Venetian Plaster:

• Marmorino: A timeless Venetian plaster made from slaked lime and crushed marble, offering a smooth, polished finish with a gentle sheen. Its reflective surface brings depth and elegance to any space.
• Travertino: Emulates the appearance of natural travertine stone, featuring a distinctive textured surface with dragged or pitted effects—perfect for rustic, earthy aesthetics.
• Polished Stucco: Delivers a multi-tonal marble effect, ranging from soft gloss to a high-gloss, mirror-like polish. Reflects natural light beautifully, enhancing the sense of space in a room.
• Metallic Venetian Plaster: Infused with metallic pigments for a lustrous, light-catching surface. Adds a contemporary shimmer to classic plasterwork—ideal for modern or luxurious interiors.
• Pitted Plaster: Achieves a weathered, limestone-like effect through shallow or deep pitting techniques. Adds historical texture and natural character to walls.

Considerations:

• Application expertise: Requires skilled artisans and a multi-layer process for best results.
• Cost: More expensive than standard paint due to the labor-intensive craftsmanship.
• Maintenance: Venetian plaster is easy to clean with dry soft cloth; just dust off to bring back its shine.

Description: Microcement is a cementitious finish blended with resins, fine aggregates, and pigments. Applied at just 2–3 mm thickness, it provides a smooth, continuous surface with no visible joints. It adheres to nearly any substrate, making it ideal for renovations and modern architectural features alike.

Advantages:

• Seamless aesthetic: Creates a continuous, joint-free surface across walls, floors, benchtops, and even furniture.
• Extremely durable: Waterproof and resistant to abrasion, impacts, and moisture when sealed correctly—ideal for high-traffic areas.
• Modern appeal: Suits industrial, minimalist, and luxury design schemes with a raw, natural texture.
• Thin and lightweight: Adds minimal build-up, making it suitable for overlays on tiles or existing surfaces.
• Water-resistant: Appropriate for bathrooms, kitchens, and splash zones when sealed.
• Flexible design: Available in a wide range of colours, finishes, and textures from matte to satin.

Considerations:

• Professional installation: Application involves multiple layers with precise timing—best done by trained specialists.
• Surface preparation: Requires a stable, crack-free substrate to avoid imperfections or failure.
• Maintenance: While robust, it benefits from routine cleaning and occasional re-sealing in wet zones.

Description: Limewash is one of the oldest wall finishes in human history, made by mixing slaked lime with water and earth pigments. When applied, it soaks into porous surfaces and cures through carbonation, bonding naturally with the substrate. The result is a luminous, chalky texture with tonal variations that shift with light and age gracefully over time.

Advantages:

• Natural beauty: Produces a soft, organic texture with subtle tonal movement—no two walls are ever the same.
• Eco-conscious: 100% natural and non-toxic—ideal for chemically sensitive spaces and sustainable design.
• Breathable: Allows walls to release moisture, helping prevent mold and condensation.
• Antibacterial by nature: Lime’s high alkalinity deters mold and microbes.
• Low environmental impact: Lime absorbs CO₂ as it cures, making it one of the most climate-friendly finishes available.
• Cost-effective luxury: Delivers a sophisticated Mediterranean aesthetic at a lower price point than polished plasters.

Considerations:

• Delicate finish: More prone to scuffing than other finishes—best for low-traffic areas unless sealed.
• Optional sealing: A protective topcoat can be applied for better durability and washability, especially in homes with children or pets, or high traffic commercial projects.
• Requires technique: Achieving a consistent, clouded look requires practiced handwork and multiple coats.

Whether you're after a soft limewash bloom, a romantic French wash, or a moody metallic feature, we tailor each treatment to the energy and design intent of your space. We proudly work with best brands to guarantee a high-end, durable finish.

Advantages:

• Artistic finishes: Choose from tonal washes, vintage effects, metallics, or matte textures that feel alive and luminous. The sky is the limit—you come with deams and creativity, and we make it happen.

• Sustainable and safe: We make sure to use the right product for each project to ensure maximum compliance and safety.
• Transformative impact: Feature walls become centrepieces that evoke feeling, not just decoration.

Considerations:

• Not tactile like plaster: While rich in appearance, these finishes do not provide the 3D relief of polished or textured plasterwork.
• Care in high-traffic areas: Matte finishes or metallics may mark or fade over time and can require occasional retouching.

Description: Used throughout history in temples, palaces, and sacred buildings, gilding involves carefully applying sheets of metal leaf to a prepared surface. Whether matte, satin, or gloss, the finish reflects ambient light and adds luminous richness to architectural details, moldings, furniture, or full walls.

Advantages:

• Luxurious impact: Adds depth, drama, and a sense of grandeur with real metal finishes.
• Customisable: Available in gold, silver, copper, champagne, and custom blends.
• Timeless appeal: Used across classical, contemporary, and art deco design styles.
• Accentuates details: Perfect for framing ceiling medallions, cornices, signage, ornate trims, or art works.

Considerations:

• Delicate application: Requires precision and specialist handling of thin metal leaf.
• Cost: Pricier than standard paint due to materials and craftsmanship—but makes a powerful statement.
