Polished Plaster Polperro

Rather fashionable right now, polished plaster is a modern style of traditional Italian plaster finishes. The phrase covers a wide variety of ornamental plaster finishes - from the highly polished Venetian plaster, Lucidato and Marmorino to the more rugged looking textured polished plasters. Used largely on interior walls and ceilings, polished plaster is designed to give a finished surface that appears to be polished travertine, limestone or marble. Polished plaster is sleek and smooth to the touch whilst offering natural variations of shade and a sense of depth. By the combining of these different forms of plaster compounds it is quite possible to create unique tailor-made finishes that can be used to good effect. Polished plaster can be coloured or tinted by using natural or artificial colourants. This is particularly valuable when trying to create "marbled" effects or produce colours and designs that do not exist in nature.

Rendering Polperro

The procedure of applying a mix of cement, lime, sand and water to both interior and exterior walls to obtain a textured or smooth surface, is referred to as rendering, which is a very similar technique to plastering. A popular technique throughout Southern Europe, rendering is particularly common in the Mediterranean countries, notably in Spain, Italy and Greece. A rendered surface has some fire resisting qualities and is waterproof, although it's mainly used for aesthetic purposes. There are two ways that a rendered surface can be coloured, either it can be painted as soon as it is dried out, or colours can be added to the render mix itself, producing a surface that's much longer lasting and more durable.
