FAQ’S

Why can’t you give me an exact price per SQM on the spot for Venetian Plaster and Microcement?

Trying to nail down the perfect cost estimate for Venetian plaster and Microcement on the spot is like trying to guess the exact toppings on someone's pizza without knowing their preferences.

Imagine you're ordering a pizza – the type of crust, toppings, and even the size can vary, and the same goes for these wall finishes. Factors like the condition of the surface, the complexity of the design, and the desired texture all play a role.

What is the difference between Venetian Plaster and Microcement?

Venetian plaster and Microcement are both sought-after decorative finishes, but they differ in terms of composition, application, and appearance. Venetian plaster, a traditional favourite, combines slaked lime, marble dust, and natural minerals. Applied in layers and burnished for depth, it exudes timeless elegance. Microcement, a modern player, features a polymer-modified cement blend with fine aggregates, giving it a sleek, contemporary feel. An added perk? Microcement boasts durability and waterproof qualities, making it a champ in wet and high-traffic areas. So, while Venetian plaster leans towards classic luxury, microcement steps up with a durable, trendy twist—a perfect fit for spaces that need both style and substance.

Why is Venetian Plaster and Microcement considered a bit pricier compared to standard wall finishes?

The price difference between Venetian plaster, Microcement, and standard wall finishes can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, both Venetian plaster and Microcement often incorporate high-quality materials, such as slaked lime, marble dust, or polymer-modified cement blends. These materials contribute to a luxurious and durable finish, elevating the overall aesthetic of your space. Secondly, the application process for these finishes requires a higher level of craftsmanship and expertise compared to standard finishes. Skilled artisans meticulously apply these materials in thin layers, ensuring a seamless result. Additionally, the uniqueness and customization options provided by Venetian plaster and Microcement contribute to their higher price point. While they may be pricier upfront, the investment often pays off in terms of durability, aesthetic appeal, and the distinctive character they bring to your walls. It's essentially a case of paying for quality, craftsmanship, and the exceptional visual impact these finishes deliver.
