Applying Venetian plaster requires precision and experience to achieve the desired effect. Our method is divided into clear stages:

1. 1

   Surface preparation (approx. 2-4 hours)

   We begin by protecting the work area and thoroughly cleaning the wall. It's crucial that the surface is smooth, dry, and free of imperfections. If necessary, we apply a specific primer to ensure optimal adhesion of the plaster.

2. 2

   Application of initial coats (approx. 4-8 hours)

   We spread the first coat of Venetian plaster with a stainless-steel trowel, covering the entire surface uniformly. We allow it to dry for the recommended time and then apply a second coat, this time with shorter, overlapping strokes to start creating the characteristic veins.

3. 3

   Creation of the marble effect (approx. 6-12 hours)

   We apply additional layers (usually 2-3 more) with circular and smoothing movements, pressing firmly with the trowel. Each layer is allowed to partially dry before applying the next, thus achieving the desired depth, shine, and veining pattern. Total time may vary depending on the surface area and design complexity.

4. 4

   Finishing and polishing (approx. 2-3 hours)

   Once all layers are applied and the desired effect is achieved, we proceed to the final polish with a clean, dry trowel, applying pressure to seal the pores and obtain a mirror-like shine. Optionally, we can apply a protective wax to enhance the gloss and facilitate cleaning, allowing it to dry completely.

Venetian plaster is perfect for renovating and beautifying your home. Call us if you're looking to:

• Add a touch of luxury and distinction

  You want your living room or hallway to feature a main wall with a marble-like finish, adding depth and elegance.

• Renovate spaces with personality

  You wish to update the decor of your bedroom or study with a unique and sophisticated texture that reflects your style.

• Provide brightness and luminosity

  You're seeking a decorative solution that reflects light and makes your rooms appear more spacious and brighter, especially in areas with little natural light.

• Create a modern and exclusive atmosphere

  You want your apartment in La Sagrera to stand out with high-end finishes, differentiating it from conventional painted walls.

• A durable and easy-to-maintain solution

  You're looking for a resistant, washable finish that maintains its beauty over time with minimal effort.

To achieve the characteristic texture and shine of Venetian plaster, we use top-tier materials. We primarily use mixtures based on slaked lime, marble dust, and natural pigments, which give the finish its depth and authenticity. Trusted brands we often recommend and use include OIKOS, known for its high-end decorative coatings, San Marco, a benchmark in plaster and stucco finishes, and Loggia, which offers innovative interior solutions. These brands provide us with the quality and colour range needed to recreate anything from classic, subtle finishes to more modern and bold designs. The correct choice of primer, the plaster itself, and, if desired, a final sealant or wax, is fundamental for the durability and aesthetic appearance of the result.

The quote for applying Venetian plaster in La Sagrera can vary considerably, ranging from €147 to €1,525. This price range is due to several key factors. The size of the surface to be treated is the main determinant, but the complexity of the chosen design, the number of layers required to achieve the desired effect, and the current condition of the walls also influence the cost. We include surface preparation, high-quality materials (plaster, primer, and optionally protective wax), and expert labour. The median price is around €836, reflecting most standard jobs in medium-sized apartments. We offer detailed, personalised quotes after a technical visit.
