Achieving a pristine Venetian stucco finish requires precision and expertise, which our team follows through a well-defined four-step process:

1. 1

   Surface Preparation (1-2 days)

   We begin by thoroughly cleaning, repairing, and priming the walls. This includes filling any cracks or imperfections and applying a specific primer to ensure optimal adhesion for the stucco. This foundational step is crucial for the final finish's longevity and appearance.

2. 2

   First Stucco Coat Application (1 day)

   The initial layer of Venetian stucco is applied evenly across the prepared surface. This coat establishes the base colour and texture, and is allowed to dry completely to ensure stability before subsequent layers are added.

3. 3

   Second & Third Coat Application (1-2 days)

   We then apply two more thin coats, using a specialised trowel to build up depth and create the characteristic variegated pattern. Each layer is burnished as it dries, enhancing the material's natural sheen and creating the desired marble-like effect.

4. 4

   Polishing & Sealing (1 day)

   Once the final stucco layer is dry, we meticulously polish the surface to achieve its signature high-gloss finish. A protective wax or sealer is then applied to enhance durability, provide water resistance, and ensure the finish remains vibrant for years to come. The entire process typically takes 4-6 days, depending on the surface area.

The quality of Venetian stucco is heavily dependent on the materials used. We exclusively work with premium products to ensure a superior and lasting finish for your property in El Poblenou. Our primary materials include natural lime putty, marble dust, and various mineral pigments, which together create the authentic depth and polished appearance. For specific applications, we also utilise acrylic-based stuccos for enhanced flexibility and durability in certain environments. We trust brands such as San Marco, known for their classic Marmorino and Grassello finishes, which offer exceptional workability and a rich, natural aesthetic. Novacolor provides innovative options like Marmorino KS, offering a contemporary twist on traditional stucco. For sealing and protection, we often use products from Fassa Bortolo, ensuring the finish is safeguarded against wear and moisture. These materials and brands are chosen for their proven performance and ability to deliver truly stunning results.

The cost for Venetian stucco application in El Poblenou typically ranges from €147 to €1525, with a median project costing around €836. This variance is primarily due to several factors: the total surface area to be covered, the complexity of the architectural details (e.g., numerous corners or archways), the chosen type of stucco finish (e.g., highly polished Grassello vs. more textured Marmorino), and the amount of preparation required for the existing walls. Our quotes are comprehensive, including all necessary materials, labour, surface preparation, multiple stucco coats, and the final polishing and sealing. We aim for transparency, providing a detailed breakdown so you understand exactly what you're paying for, ensuring no hidden costs.
