Why Venetian Plaster ?
Venetian Plaster is not only a stunning and stylish addition to your home or business, but that it also has many benefits!
1.Environmentally Friendly
Venetian plaster is a centuries old product and is currently in vogue. It is made from natural materials that are non-toxic, and doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals or give off VOCs.
Due to the lime in the plaster it inhibits the growth of mould, creating an anti-bacterial, toxin free surface. This can be a bonus in homes with family members who have allergies and respiratory conditions.
2. Durable
Venetian plaster is a durable finish. Archeologists have uncovered walls made with Venetian plaster in Pompeii that were undamaged by the eruption that engulfed the city.
Whilst it is durable, it is not indestructible. It can be scratched or chipped if hit hard enough. The finish is tough and can withstand everyday life and wear and tear.
3. Sustainable Material
As well as being environmentally friendly, is it also a sustainable. The plaster is made with lime (calcium carbonate) which is a renewable resource. Lime is also an extremely durable product that lasts for years. It can also be recycled back into limestone when it’s no longer needed.
4. Fire & Pest Resistant
Venetian plaster is both fire and pest resistant. The lime is unable to be digested by both insects and other pests, adding an extra layer of security to keep pests out of homes and commercial buildings.
5. Easy Maintenance
Venetian plaster doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. Its smooth finish dries quickly, and it’s easy to clean. In regards, to long term maintenance, all that’s needed is an application of the recommended wax.
6. Regulates Humidity
Venetian plaster is resistant to moisture, and it controls humidity. Another bonus is that it can keep your home cooler on those hot summer days.
