Venetian plaster
What's included

Everything your renovation includes, with no one for you to coordinate.

Substrate preparation

The wall must be perfectly smooth and free of imperfections. We fill, sand and apply primer to achieve the ideal base. In Venetian plaster, any substrate defect is magnified, which is why this phase is especially meticulous.

Stucco layer application

We apply two to four layers of plaster with a stainless-steel trowel, crossing passes to create the characteristic marbling effect. Each layer is left to dry and lightly sanded before the next. It is artisan work that requires experience and patience.

Polishing and natural shine

The final layer is burnished with the trowel at high speed to generate friction heat that closes the pores and produces a natural satin sheen. No varnishes are used: the shine comes from the mineral itself. The more it is polished, the more depth and luminosity the surface acquires.

Protective waxing

We apply natural or synthetic wax that protects the surface, makes cleaning easy and adds an extra touch of depth to the colour. In bathrooms and damp areas we use waterproofing wax that prevents water from penetrating the plaster.

Natural and custom colours

Venetian plaster admits a wide range of colours: pearly whites, stone greys, sands, terracotta, greens and blues. Mineral pigments produce deep, irregular tones that vary with the light, like genuine marble.

Clean-up and handover

We remove protections, clean the room and hand over the walls ready. We explain how to maintain the plaster: clean with a damp cloth and annual re-waxing to preserve the shine.

Venetian plaster is one of the oldest and most elegant decorative techniques in existence. Made from slaked lime and marble dust, it is applied in thin layers with a steel trowel and hand-polished until achieving a smooth finish with natural shine and veining similar to genuine marble. No varnishes are needed: the shine is produced by the lime's own mineralisation.

Beyond its beauty, Venetian plaster is breathable, humidity-regulating and naturally antibacterial thanks to the lime. These properties make it especially suitable for Cádiz homes, where ambient humidity is high. It allows the wall to breathe without accumulating condensation, unlike many plastic coatings.

Our applicators have years of experience with this artisan technique. Each wall receives two to four layers, each polished before the next, until achieving the desired depth and shine. We seal with protective wax and deliver with a fixed-price quote. Service available in Cádiz, San Fernando, Chiclana, Puerto Real, El Puerto, Jerez and surrounding areas.
