Venetian plaster is a well-known Italian feature wll and ceiling finish that may be applied by an expert to rapidly create a stone, marble, or concrete-like look on a few centimetres of thickness.
It is a premium and luxurious surface coating, which is naturally going to be a higher price point for interior design or decorating than a regular painted finish might be.
Venetian plaster materials cost in the UK varies depending on the quantity, quality, and colour of the plaster used, but on average, they start at £4.60 and go up to £19 per metre square. Included are wax and primer. High-gloss Venetian plasters and multi-coloured textured effects with waxes tend to be more expensive than mildly textured, satin, or smooth single-colour finishes.
The labour and level of skills needed to successfully complete the installation will also add to the overall project costs, with some finishes being very laborious.
Venetian plaster supplies are far less expensive than supply and fit, which can cost anywhere from £65 to £120+ per metre square, however, it’s not uncommon to pay as much as £400 per metre square for a really durable finish with an amazing design
Colour matching, a large number of samples, or sample walls can all add to the cost of Venetian plastering, not to mention difficult access or specific protectors for long-term durability.
The high cost is due to the hand-applied nature of this magnificent bespoke finish, which takes at least 3 to 5 days to complete.
It can work out to be more cost-effective with some of our latest range of decorative plasters that use a one-two coat system, reducing the amount of labour needed to complete your installation.
Should price be a main sticking point we also offer a range of decorative paint finishes which are still elegant and visually impactful but compared to the Venetian plaster, may cost you around 30% less.
