Venetian plaster is a natural lime-based decorative finish originating in Italy. It creates a smooth or polished surface with depth and movement that paint cannot replicate. It’s popular for luxury interiors because it reflects light beautifully and ages well over time.
We supply a wide range of Valpaint decorative wall finishes in the UK, including Venetian plaster systems, textured decorative plasters, concrete and cement-effect finishes, metallic effects and microcement systems. Each finish can be customised in colour, texture and sheen.
Are Valpaint finishes suitable for bathrooms and wet areas?
Yes. Many Valpaint finishes are suitable for bathrooms, showers and wet areas when the correct system and protective sealers are used. We always advise on the most suitable decorative plaster system depending on moisture levels and usage.
