H ave you ever marveled at the beautiful glistening plaster walls
of Italy? These ancient walls that bloom even more beautifully with
age were plastered with a technique called "Venetian plaster". You
no longer need to travel to Europe for these amazing plasters. They
have caught the attention of distinguished interior designers and
architects throughout America. Vero offers genuine seasoned slaked
lime finishes for both exterior as well as interior wall surfaces. Our
plaster finishes cover residential, industrial, and commercial
buildings across the nation. Our most popular product, Antiqua, can
create either a smooth, suede-like effect or a more mottled and
rough form. Some Venetian plasters are polished or "burnished" with
a sheen to achieve a marble appearance like Epoca Spatolato.
Application by Cravens Plastering,
Arroyo Grande, CA
To apply real lime plasters we use a simple chrome trowel
spreading several layers of plaster to the wall, with the last layer
creating a decorative effect. This effect created from seasoned
slaked lime plaster consists of fine Carrara marble aggregate.
When applied, these finishes give a visual depth, richness, a cool
touch, and natural elegance of stone and marble. Over time, as the
lime crystallizes in reaction to the air (carbonation), the plaster
returns to its natural state of limestone, creating a wall finish that is
stronger and more durable than any painted surface. The initial
production process starts with limestone rocks from rivers or quarries
in Italy. After a 24 month period, the seasoned limestone turns into
an amazing "lime putty" or "Grassello di Calce" in Italian. Vero's
plaster products can be used in a wide range of styles such as Old
World, Contemporary, Tuscan, Asian, and Traditional. Our fine
Italian finishes take an artisan's imagination and create limitless
possibilities evoking style and grace.

Antiqua I and II are ideal for giving
interior and exterior surfaces an
authentic Venetian plaster
appearance using genuine
limestone and fine Carrara marble
aggregate. Both finishes can be
troweled to achieve a smooth finish
or sponge floated to achieve a
textured facade. Antiqua II contains
coarser aggregate creating a
speckled effect.

N LP is a natural lime plaster suitable
for interior and exterior wall surfaces.
The size of the aggregate is between
Antiqua I and II. NLP is similar in texture
to a standard Portland cement 20/30
stucco finish. We recommend tinting this
plaster product in lighter color shades to
accentuate the gorgeous speckled effect
the marble aggregate casts on the wall.

Finish is an acrylic protective coating for
interiors and exteriors that contains
aggregate to provide a strong
foundation for top coat plaster. It is a
vapor permeable product that fills and
covers the irregularities on wall surfaces.
Finish is used as a crack-resistant base
coat for many of the Vero plaster
products, and can also be used as a
finish coat. When used as a basecoat
for plaster, Finish can be tinted to
closely match the finish plaster coat.
