Crafted from slaked lime and marble dust, Venetian plaster can be integrally tinted to achieve nearly any desired hue. It is typically applied in multiple thin layers, usually 2 to 4, depending on the selected finish. Each layer is applied and compressed by hand, gradually creating a smooth surface with subtle variation in color and texture. The material can be left with a gentle sheen or polished to a high-gloss appearance that resembles polished stone. More polished finishes reveal greater depth and movement within the surface, while lower-sheen finishes provide a softer, more understated appearance. The finished plaster forms a durable surface suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It remains breathable after curing, allowing moisture vapor to pass through the material. As a lime-based substance, it contains no harmful VOCs and is naturally resistant to mold and bacteria.

Gypsum-based plaster is typically applied over plasterboard or a prepared basecoat, creating a continuous, durable surface. It is typically installed in multiple coats, with the plaster built up and leveled before the final surface is finished. The material can be troweled smooth for a clean, uniform appearance or worked to create a more visible texture. Smooth finishes have a solid, seamless appearance, while textured finishes can create irregularities that resemble natural stone or other mineral surfaces. Gypsum plaster can also be integrally tinted, allowing the color to extend through the plaster rather than relying solely on a surface coating. Depending on the color and texture selected, the finished wall can range from subtle and uniform to more varied and stone-like in appearance. The dense, hardened surface provides a durable finish for interior walls and ceilings.

Microcement is a cement-based finish made from a blend of cement, fine aggregates, and polymers that is applied directly over a properly prepared surface. It is installed in thin coats and can be used on walls, floors, and other suitable surfaces without adding the thickness of traditional concrete. The finished surface has subtle variation and fine texture, giving it the appearance of concrete or natural stone while remaining relatively lightweight. It can be finished with a more uniform surface or worked to create greater texture, movement, and variation in the final appearance. Microcement is available in a range of colors and is typically sealed to protect the finished surface. Its thin, continuous application makes it well suited to bathrooms, showers, floors, and renovations where a tiled surface is not desired.

Lime paint is a mineral-based finish made from slaked lime and natural pigments, which can be tinted in a wide range of colors. It is typically applied by brush in several thin coats, with each coat contributing to the variation and texture of the finished surface. It can also be rolled or sprayed when a different application effect is desired. As it dries, lime paint develops soft color variation and a subtle mineral texture rather than the consistent appearance of conventional paint. It can be diluted to create a translucent lime wash, allowing the surface beneath to remain visible and making it perfect for layering over plastered surfaces. The finish can be used on both interior and exterior surfaces and remains vapor-permeable after curing, allowing moisture to move through the material. Its mineral composition provides a durable finish that is less prone to the cracking and peeling commonly associated with conventional paint.

Marmorino is a lime-based plaster made with finely crushed marble aggregate, giving the material a mineral composition and a more substantial texture than finer lime plasters. It is typically applied in multiple thin coats and can be worked to produce different levels of texture and smoothness. The surface can be finished with a soft satin sheen or left with more visible movement, texture, and variation. Marmorino can be integrally tinted in a wide range of colors, so the color becomes part of the plaster rather than sitting only on the surface. As the material is worked, the marble aggregate creates natural depth and subtle changes in tone that become more apparent in the finished surface. Its coarser aggregate gives Marmorino a tactile quality that can resemble limestone, cut stone, or lightly polished marble, making it a good choice when a wall finish with the character of natural stone is desired.

Roman Clay is a clay-based wall finish made from natural mineral and clay materials, producing a soft, matte surface with a fine, velvety texture. It is typically applied by hand in several thin, overlapping layers, with the direction and pressure of the application creating subtle changes in color and texture. The finished surface has a muted appearance with gentle tonal variation rather than the uniform look of standard paint. It can be worked to appear relatively smooth or retain more visible movement and texture, depending on the application technique. Roman Clay is breathable and low in VOCs, allowing moisture vapor to move through the finish while limiting the emissions associated with conventional coatings. It is intended for dry interior areas and is well suited to walls where a soft, handcrafted finish with natural color variation is desired.

Domingue P1 Fine Grain Lime Plaster is a natural mineral plaster made primarily from slaked lime and fine mineral aggregate. It can be used as both a base and finish coat and is typically applied in two thin coats over properly prepared walls or drywall. The fine aggregate creates a subtle texture that softly diffuses light, giving the surface gentle depth and tonal variation. P1 can be worked relatively smooth or applied with more visible movement and texture, allowing the final appearance to range from quiet and uniform to more expressive. It is available in Domingue’s range of P1 colors and can also be custom tinted with mineral pigments to achieve a specific color. Once cured, P1 forms a durable, breathable mineral surface suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Stucco is a cement-based exterior plaster typically made from cement, lime, sand, and water. It is applied in multiple coats over a properly prepared substrate, with each layer contributing to the thickness and strength of the finished wall system. The surface can be finished smooth, worked with texture, or acid washed to create an aged appearance with greater variation. Stucco can also be tinted throughout the material, allowing the finished color to become part of the plaster rather than relying solely on a surface coating. Its dense mineral composition provides a durable exterior surface that withstands exposure to sunlight, wind, and changing temperatures. Properly applied stucco also provides fire resistance and can remain serviceable for decades with appropriate maintenance.

EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) is a lightweight exterior wall system made from insulation board, a reinforced base coat, and a durable finish coat. The insulation is installed over the prepared exterior wall, followed by a reinforced base layer and the final finish. The finish can be applied smooth or with varying degrees of texture, and can be tinted in a wide range of colors to create a consistent or more varied appearance. Different textures and application techniques can also be used to add subtle movement or architectural detail to the surface. The continuous insulation helps reduce heat transfer through the exterior walls, improving energy efficiency and helping maintain more consistent interior temperatures. The layered system also provides protection from exterior weather while allowing the finished surface to be shaped around architectural details.
