Classical Venetian plaster is a plastic mass based on resins and marble flour fillers, lime and many other components. However, the lime has the property to "extinguish" color. Because of its presence, such coatings are difficult to climb into dark tones. They are distinguished by gentle pastel shades.

The plaster on a lime-based basis with the effect of IKOS spot marble (Materis Paints Italia) is used not only in the interiors, but also on the facades of the houses. It is applied to the shasphawn new walls or renovated when it is important to keep the ability of the surface to breathe. The price of the coating is 115-500 rubles. For 1m2, depending on the intensity of the color and the number of layers.
Many manufacturers seek the visual effect of natural stone and without lime. For example, plaster for marble Antico Stucco Italico (Candis) is created on the basis of an emulsion from environmentally friendly resins with the addition of crushed carrarian marble. It is actuated in the darkest colors. Price - 300 rub. For 1m2 coatings. A special charm architectural elements gives the Lingotto Gold plaster, manufactured by Create under the Fractalis brand. Metal particles included in its composition enliven the "stone" surface with overflows of gold or platinum. The cost is about 600 rubles. For 1m2.
On the way to perfectionIn the environment of professionals, there are not so rare talk about what covers are real Venetian plasters, and which only looks like them. However, the consumer is not easy to understand this. After all, all manufacturers keep the recipes of their compositions in the strictest mystery. Acrome is not so important to know which components are coverage, the main thing is that it allows you to create a unique design and has the necessary operational properties.
Venetian plaster universal. The basis for it is a wide variety of materials: concrete and brick, cement-limestone plaster, asbestos-cement and drywall plates, as well as old coatings based on water-dispersion, alkyd and oily colors, of course, after appropriate preparation. Any surface should be thoroughly aligned, cleaned and sucked. Then a layer of special soil is applied to it, which provides the best clutch of plaster composition with the base. The material itself (base) is a thick mass. It can be colored (applied by the manufacturer), but most often it is corriving in the tone chosen by the customer.
The essence of the technology is to apply several layers of plaster; Each is created by chaotic structure-forming strokes. The result of their overlay appears the illusion of the depth of the coating. The material is distributed by a metal spatula, smoothing carefully. Moreover, the subsequent layer is put on the finally dried surface. The time interval required for this purpose depends on the specific composition and varies within 2-8 hours. Multicolor textures are obtained by combining the plastering massif in different colors. Recreation of the pattern of natural marble, randomly located streaks and inclusions requires truly jewelry work.
Necessary defenseAfter decorative plaster strikes onto the wall and give it to dry (and more correctly, it is usually covered with wax or special impregnations as cement). Thus, the colorful decor is protected from moisture. This stage is especially important for classic lime-based plasters, since in the absence of a protective layer, the material actively absorbs water. At the same time, plaster acquires the characteristic "marble" shine.
What materials are used for finishing finish? The most eco-friendly protective coating is natural beeswax, although it is somewhat inferior by strength and durability of synthetic waxes. They are preferable to the walls of Halls, corridors. The same surface with the applied synthetic wax has a brilliance. To achieve such a visual effect from natural wax, the coating must be specifically polished.
More modern protective compositions are wax impregnations. They do not have traces from the hands and mechanical impacts, which is typical for waxes. They are more resistant to moisture and dirt. And they do not apply them with a spatula, but moistened in the special composition with a napkin. Avot Venetian plaster based on polymeric materials and paints imitating a marble surface at all do not need protective waxes and impregnations.

So, as a result, a waterproof coating is obtained, which, after 3 weeks after applying, you can wash with water and process with detergent solvents. Keep in mind that the lifetime of Venetian plaster is almost unlimited, but only when performing several conditions. First, incorrect preparation of the foundation or shrinkage of a new house may cause cracks on the coating. Secondly, it should be protected from strong mechanical impacts. The fact is that Venetianka is almost no restoration: to get into an already existing tone and the drawing is very difficult.
I just work ... a wizard
Venetian plaster provides unlimited opportunities for artistic paintings. The drawing is created by a plaster base, mounted in different colors; After drying, it is not erased, does not fade under UV rays. The surface layer of wax reliably protects the colorful layer from high humidity in the pool.
