Venetian plaster and limewash: common questions
What is Venetian plaster?
Venetian plaster is a decorative lime-based plaster applied with a trowel in thin, successive coats. The result is a smooth wall with depth and variation in tone that can resemble marble, depending on the technique and the final finish.
What is the difference between Venetian plaster and limewash?
Venetian plaster is a plaster applied with a trowel, with a smooth, deep finish. Limewash is a paint applied with a brush, with a matte, mottled look. Both are lime-based, but the appearance and the technique are different.
Can Venetian plaster be used on a fireplace?
Yes. A fireplace is one of the places Venetian plaster stands out most, as on this terracotta wall where the finish frames the stone hearth.
How much does Venetian plaster cost?
The price depends on the area, the condition of the wall, the number of coats and the finish you want. DV Groupe does not publish fixed prices: every project gets a free, no-obligation quote.
