The phrase “faux finish” can bring to mind unattractive and old fashioned images.
Layered paint washes, or depth techniques, have been used for thousands of years in Egypt and Europe to animate palaces, homes, and even tombs. A tasteful application can make a room larger, smaller, or give life to plain walls and ceilings. New metallic paints have a durability and wide range of possibilities for decor. Modern materials are non toxic, low voc, and have little invasive smell.
Limestone putty and marble dust are mined, mixed, and aged in Italy to create natural, beautiful stucco Veneziano.
Traditional hand troweled installation lends an elegant and organic feel to the mood of your home. Plasters are a value compared to painting, in the long term. Finishes can be neutral or colorful, glossy or matte, smooth or rough, to enhance any style. Plaster also adds appraisal value to your home or project.
Clay plasters have been used for millennia to insulate and decorate interior living spaces. Clay plaster is a mix of sand, small stones, and clay. Modern techniques and natural binders allow clay to be installed in many styles and colors, while preserving it’s earthy qualities.
