FAQ’s

  • Polished plaster and Venetian plaster are decorative finishes used in interior design and architecture to create a smooth, high-gloss, or matte surface on walls and ceilings. Both finishes have become popular for their ability to create a luxurious, elegant look in interior spaces. They are often used in high-end homes, hotels, and restaurants to add depth and sophistication to walls and ceilings.

  • Microcement is a versatile resin based coating, which provides a unique texture that is hardwearing, waterproof and heatproof, making it a perfect choice for floors, bathrooms, wet rooms, splash-backs and more.

    It is a hand applied coating at a minimal thickness from 2-3 millimetres, allowing a seamless and smooth surface leaving no joints or grout lines.

    Microcement comes in a variety of colours and can be customised in textures, replicating the appearance of polished concrete and natural stones.

  • Polished plaster and microcement are modern decorative finishes used in interior design, but they have notable distinctions. Polished plaster is composed of slaked lime, marble dust, and other additives, with the option to include acrylics. It's applied in thin layers and then polished to achieve a smooth, reflective surface, offering a range of finishes from glossy to matte.

    On the other hand, microcement is a composite material combining cement, fine aggregates, polymers, and additives. Applied in thin layers (typically 2-3mm thick), it provides a durable, seamless finish suitable for floors and walls, especially in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Microcement also offers versatility in finish options, from smooth and contemporary to textured and rustic, depending on application techniques and sealant choices. The choice between the two would hinge on specific project requirements and desired aesthetics.
