Venetian Polished Plaster Finishes in New Hythe

Venetian Polished Plaster is as much craft as decoration, and it shows in the finish. Polished Venetian is the venetian-first specialist for New Hythe, hand-troweling multiple thin layers and burnishing each surface by hand for a bespoke result across Kent that a general plasterer would struggle to replicate. We treat New Hythe as core territory, along with High Halstow and Sharnal Street nearby, all part of the same Kent coverage we run from our Dartford base.

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.

If you are weighing up Venetian Polished Plaster for a bathroom or a busier New Hythe space, we will tell you honestly whether it suits the room or whether Tadelakt is the better fit. Get in touch for a free site visit and straightforward advice.
