Welcome to Polished Plastering Services; we are Surrey’s leading polish plastering experts, installing polished plastering across homes and businesses in the city.
Polished plaster, or those who are not aware, is a term used to describe the finish of some plasters and updated forms of the traditional Italian plaster finish. However, in the UK, the term is broadly applied to a range of decorative plaster looks, from ones with highly polished Venetian plaster to the Marmorino and rugged looks in between.
Polished plaster is often used on walls and ceilings and offers a finished look similar to that of limestone, marble and travertine. It is also possible to mix various plasters to achieve a distinctive custom look.
Polished plastering has become increasingly popular across the UK but mainly in Surrey over the years. One of the reasons for its popularity is that the finish is unlike that of a painted surface, which means it can be safely applied to walls and ceilings.
Venetian polished plaster also helps tackle various challenging obstacles like the edging around areas like columns and fireplaces.
Here are a few more reasons to choose polished plastering:
Environmentally friendly – At Polished Plastering Services, all ingredients, such as granite, marble and glass, are found to be pulled from natural sources and are toxin free. The products we use have no volatile compounds, and because it includes limestone, it absorbs CO2. The high pH of the lime mixture is antibacterial and has fungicidal properties. When combined, it makes for a breathable compound that regulates humidity effectively, and it’s why many homeowners love it in areas near the pool, bathrooms and kitchens.
Easy to clean and durable – Polished plaster is known to be exceptionally durable, and thus, it outlives any paint job by remaining as good as new for several years longer. Plus, it is easy to clean with a damp cloth, and even some mild soap will help remove stubborn stains without damaging the finish. If it has deep scuffs, it can easily be dealt with using mineral wool.
Low to no maintenance – It is the best alternative to tiles and other natural stone finishes. Plus, the added benefit of polished Venetian plaster is that it is grout free and thus low on regular maintenance. However, it can be made further maintenance-free by rubbing a coat of wax on it every two years, which helps keep dirt stains off it.
Many choices – Polished plastering comes in a selection of nine finishes, all of which are available across multiple shades. You have the logo and stencil option too. But if none of the existing options works for you, then you can use a bespoke finish by working with one of our Venetian plastering experts, who will help achieve your goal.
