TRADITIONAL LIMESTONE PLASTERS
Polished Plaster
During the application process, lime compresses to create a polished sheen. Application techniques, aggregates, sealers, and waxes can be used to control the sheen.
Marmorino Plaster
"Little Marble" is lime plaster with marble dust added as an aggregate. This can create fine textures, reduce sheen, and create a thicker finish with various grades of marble dust.
Textured Marmorino
Adding textured layers of plaster in between the usual layers of Marmorino to create new and interesting textures.
Venetian Plaster
The classic, textured, stone-like plaster finish which can be customized to a variety of different textures and tones.
Knock-Down Plaster
This is a special technique that creates a luminous, almost rustic look with plenty of texture and contrast. To get a soft matte appearance, a lighter-colored limewash is applied over a darker Marmorino plaster and then sanded back to reveal some of the darker basecoat.
