VENETIAN PLASTER

Venetian plaster – it is a popular material that is used to finish the surfaces look like marble. The high degree of gloss and excellent color depth allows you to give the interior a feeling of luxury and glitz. Different techniques of applying multiple layers make it possible to create textures repeating the structure of a smooth polished marble of every kind and color. The material is vapor permeable, which allows using it in areas with high humidity. It is good for walls and ceilings, columns, cornices, fireplaces and individual interior elements. Gloss effect is enhanced in good lightning.

APPLICATION METHOD

The walls, before applying the decorative plasters, should be qualitatively aligned and plastered.
Before applying the wall must be primed with compositions corresponding to the selected surface. It is desirable to complete the rough work before applying to avoid pollution. The manufacturability of the process must be maintained. Each applied layer must dry for obtaining durability. Under these rules coating becomes durable, high-quality and elegant.
Step 1: prime painting of the surface. Priming – to apply prime on a solid and well-dried basis by roller. Diluting with water up to 30%. The drying time – 8 hours. The surface must be free of roughness and grooves; as well it must be free of scratches.
Step 2: Then with a metal trowel apply a thin smooth layer on the primed surface with multi-directional movements. After the first layer is dried (4-8 minutes) create a contrasting pattern with chaotic brushstrokes.
Step 3: Apply the second layer in a day. When applying the second layer, we define an intermediate pattern. With the third layer the surface is polished with a steel trowel. After 24 hours of complete drying of the last layer it is necessary to smooth it with a trowel or sponge wax.
