Our Method for Applying Venetian Stucco
Our process for applying Venetian stucco is thorough and precise, typically spanning 2-4 days depending on the area. First, we conduct a detailed site visit and consultation (1-2 hours) to understand your vision and assess the wall condition. This allows us to provide an accurate estimate. Next, we meticulously prepare the surface (4-8 hours per wall), which includes cleaning, sanding, and applying a specialised primer to ensure optimal adhesion. This foundational step is critical for a flawless finish. The third stage involves applying multiple thin layers of stucco (8-16 hours per wall), often 3-5 coats, allowing each to dry partially before the next. Each layer is smoothed and compressed with a trowel to build depth and create the characteristic veining. Finally, after the stucco has fully cured, we burnish the surface (2-4 hours per wall) to achieve its signature high-gloss, marble-like sheen, followed by an optional wax application for added protection and lustre. We ensure minimal disruption and a clean worksite throughout.
