Marble-Effect Venetian Polished Plaster for Key Street Homes

Paint sits flat on the wall; Venetian Polished Plaster comes alive with depth and light. For Key Street properties in Kent, Polished Venetian applies this authentic Italian finish in thin, hand-troweled lime layers, giving you a marble-like surface with character paint cannot imitate. We look after homes and businesses throughout Key Street and this part of Kent, and often find ourselves working in Knatts Valley and Bletchingley on the same round.

Every project follows the same disciplined sequence. We agree the colour and sheen first, prepare a stable and level base, then hand-trowel multiple thin layers before burnishing the final coat to a smooth, marble-like sheen. Each thin layer needs time to dry and be worked before the next goes on, which is exactly what gives the finish its depth.

Venetian Polished Plaster is lime-based, which makes it breathable and naturally resistant to mould, unlike ordinary painted gypsum. That same lime chemistry suits period and traditional wall construction as well as modern interiors, and it is part of why a properly applied finish lasts so much longer than paint.
