Before you go to the store for a solution, you should make measurements of the room. The amount of work is calculated in meters squared. Almost all Venetian plasters are applied in two stages - the base and finishing layer. The thickness of the first is 0.5-0.9 mm, the thickness of the second is 0.15-0.2 mm.

You should not try decorative plastering if there is no certainty about the final result. You should also study the instructions for applying to specifically selected plaster: for example, in the technical description of the mixture of Marbella indicated the need for two masters during the application of layers, as the plaster dries quickly.

The marble texture is formed by a special Venetian trowel.There are different types of spatulas designed for this. Required is the availability of tools for corner work.

First a base, white layer is applied. It serves as a backdrop for finishing decorative application. Thanks to the first layer, the effect of transparency of the coating is created, the wall seems to shine through.

Some types of plasters require the creation of a specific texture at the base stage. Textured strokes need to be created by one master so that all walls are treated equally. The final effect depends largely on "how the hand took."

Applying a coat of color is considered the second stage.and it is produced in 8-12 hours. Some mixtures, for example, Trevignano, imply filling up to 12 layers, each of which is ground and subjected to ironing. This creates a complex, multifaceted pattern, acquires a special spatial effect.

After the plaster has dried (1-2 weeks), you can begin to apply a protective wax. It is also applied with a spatula in two layers, each of which dries for 12-24 hours. At the end of the surface is polished to a shine.

The mirror gloss of decorative Venetian plaster “Trevignano” perfectly imitates the surface of marble. Thanks to the reflective surface of the walls of the room expands, and the walls themselves seem to be transparent and weightless.
