What is the Difference Between Marmorino and Venetian Polished Plaster?

Marmorino and Venetian polished plaster are both traditional lime-based polished plaster finishes, but they have distinct characteristics:

• Marmorino: This plaster has a smooth yet slightly textured finish and can be used to create both contemporary and classic aesthetics. It allows for variations in tone and depth, making it perfect for artistic and decorative effects.
• Venetian Polished Plaster: Often associated with the high-gloss, marble-like appearance, Venetian polished plaster offers a sleek, reflective surface. It is commonly used in luxurious interiors and high-end commercial spaces.

What is So Special About Venetian Plaster?

Venetian plaster is a timeless material that offers several unique benefits:

• Natural Composition: Made from lime and natural minerals, it is eco-friendly and breathable.
• Durability: It hardens over time, making it more resilient than regular painted surfaces.
• Versatile Finishes: Available in a wide range of colours, from soft neutrals to bold earth tones.
• Customisation: Each application is unique, allowing artisans to create bespoke finishes.
• Low Maintenance: Resistant to mould and bacteria, making it an excellent choice for interior walls.

Can You Venetian Plaster Straight onto Plasterboard?

Yes, but preparation is key. Plasterboard must be primed and sealed before applying Venetian plaster to ensure adhesion and prevent moisture absorption.

Does Venetian Plaster Need a Primer?

Yes, a high-quality primer is essential for achieving the best results. A primer helps to create an even surface, enhances adhesion, and prevents lime-based polished plaster from absorbing too much moisture.

Does Venetian Plaster Have to be Sealed?

Sealing is optional but recommended, especially in high-moisture areas. A protective sealant enhances durability and resistance to stains while adding a subtle sheen to the finish.

Can You Apply Venetian Plaster Yourself?

While experienced DIY enthusiasts may be able to apply Venetian plaster, achieving a professional finish requires skill. For the best results, it is advised to hire a trained artisan.

Can You Paint Over Venetian Plaster?

Yes, but preparation is necessary. The surface should be lightly sanded, primed, and sealed before painting to ensure even coverage.

Is Venetian Plaster Waterproof?

For areas exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens, Marmorin Hydro is the ideal choice. As a water-resistant lime plaster, it offers all the aesthetic benefits of Venetian plaster while being highly durable and resistant to mould and humidity. For a fully waterproof option,OLTRE Microcementis recommended, providing exceptional performance in wet environments.
