Our process for applying Venetian stucco is thorough, ensuring a flawless and lasting finish. Here’s how we achieve exceptional results:

1. 1

   Surface Preparation (1-2 hours per 10m²)

   We begin by meticulously cleaning, sanding, and priming your walls. Any imperfections are filled and smoothed to create a perfectly even base, crucial for the stucco's final appearance.

2. 2

   First Stucco Layer (2-4 hours per 10m²)

   The initial layer of stucco is applied thinly and evenly using a special trowel. This coat establishes the base colour and texture, and is allowed to dry completely, typically for 8-12 hours.

3. 3

   Subsequent Layers & Polishing (3-6 hours per 10m²)

   We then apply 1-2 additional thin layers, building up the desired depth and marbling effect. Each layer is burnished with a clean trowel to compress the material and create its characteristic sheen. This step is where the artisan's skill truly comes into play.

4. 4

   Sealing & Curing (1-2 hours application, 24-48 hours curing)

   Finally, a protective wax or sealant is applied to enhance durability, water resistance, and shine. The treated surface then cures, reaching its full hardness and lustre over the next day or two, ready for years of enjoyment.

Venetian stucco is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a distinctive, high-end finish that stands out. Consider our services if you are:

• Upgrading a feature wall

  A single wall in Venetian stucco can become the focal point of a living room or dining area, adding depth and texture.

• Renovating an older property

  This finish complements traditional architecture, providing a luxurious yet authentic feel.

• Seeking low-maintenance elegance

  Once applied and sealed, Venetian stucco is remarkably durable and easy to clean, making it ideal for busy households.

• Desiring a unique aesthetic

  Unlike standard paint, stucco offers a multi-tonal, polished appearance that varies with light, creating dynamic visual interest.

The beauty and longevity of Venetian stucco depend heavily on the quality of materials used. We exclusively work with premium products to ensure an authentic and durable finish. Our preferred stucco plasters are lime-based, allowing the walls to breathe while offering excellent resistance to mould and mildew. Brands like San Marco and Oikos are frequently chosen for their rich pigment options and superior workability, providing a vast palette from subtle neutrals to vibrant hues. For sealing, we often use natural beeswax or acrylic-based protective waxes from brands such as Giorgio Graesan & Friends, which enhance the stucco's natural sheen and protect it from daily wear and tear. We also utilise high-quality primers from manufacturers like Caparol to ensure optimal adhesion and a consistent base for the stucco application.

The cost of Venetian stucco application in La Clota typically ranges from €147 to €1525, with a median project costing around €836. This wide range reflects several factors. Smaller, simpler projects, such as a single feature wall, will naturally fall at the lower end. Larger, more complex jobs involving multiple rooms, intricate detailing, or extensive surface preparation will command higher prices. The specific type of stucco finish, the number of layers required, and the chosen sealant also influence the final quote. Our pricing always includes all materials, labour, and a thorough clean-up, ensuring transparency and no hidden costs. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after an on-site assessment.
