Decorative Finishes

Venetian plaster is also known as polished plaster. We specialise in Stucco Veneziano a product imported straight from the birthplace of Venetian plaster in Italy.

Stucco Veneziano has an elegant, glass like appearance. Typically, Venetian colours are: red, ochre, vibrant blues and greens, terracotta, rich ivories, pure whites and concrete colours that create a sense of history and yet remain startingly contemporary.

The plasters are lime based, and are made out of actual marble dust resulting in a finish that lasts a lifetime.

Stucco Veneziano is suitable for the both residential and commercial spaces, the mirror like finish is achieved using multiple layers by trowel application and can be further protected and enhanced with a wax application. This elegant and timeless finish adds a real talking point.

The arch way and surrounds were decorated with painted faux sandstone finish.

Each block is hand painted to give the effect of a solid stone construction.

Faux marble columns were also painted either side of the icons.

Marbling is a faux finish imitating the look of solid marble.

Marbling can be applied to large areas for a softening effect, or can add drama in highly detailed replications of various marble types. It adds elegance to walls and also to focus points like columns, wall panels and fireplaces.

This finish is ideal for foyers and entrances, especially where there are a number of columns.

Gold Leaf, also known as gilding, is the art of covering a surface with a thin layer of gold.

Gold leaf can add excitement and a certain level of sophistication to just about any surface, and can be applied to a wide range of surfaces including cornices, ceiling mouldings, building materials, and furniture.

The effect can also be softened with washes or acids to create an aged look.
