Eco-friendly plaster
Venetian plaster offers several potential home, health and environmental benefits compared to other materials:
Improved air quality
Traditional Venetian plaster is made from natural materials such as lime, marble dust, and other minerals. These materials allow walls to breathe, preventing moisture buildup and reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can contribute to respiratory issues.
Non-toxic
High-quality Venetian plaster formulations are free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful chemicals commonly found in many paint products. This results in fewer harmful emissions and a healthier indoor environment for you and your family.
Hypoallergenic
The natural composition of Venetian plaster makes it hypoallergenic, making it an ideal choice for those with allergies or sensitivities to synthetic materials and chemicals often found in conventional wall finishes.
Temperature regulation
Venetian plaster possesses inherent thermal properties that help regulate indoor temperatures. It absorbs excess heat during warmer months and releases it slowly during cooler periods, contributing to a more comfortable and energy-efficient living space.
Durability
Unlike some synthetic wall coverings that degrade over time and release harmful particles into the air, Venetian plaster is highly durable and long-lasting. Its resistance to cracking and chipping means fewer disruptions and reduced exposure to airborne particles.
