Lime-Based Venetian Plaster on Bathroom Walls

Venetian Plaster is an excellent choice for bathroom environments for two main reasons. First, Venetian Plaster finishes are breathable. This means that they allow moisture to escape. They do not trap moisture. Second, because of their lime-based nature, they inhibit the growth of mildew.

Venetian Plaster, also known as Polished Plaster or lime-based plaster, is cool to the touch, like stone or marble, because it is made out of stone elements. It has been valued for centuries for its good looks and particular properties. It gives an air of opulence to any surface it decorates. Today, it holds a place of choice among decorative finishes for both residential and commercial uses.

Painting in Partnership, from the Northwest suburban area of Chicago, uses a variety of limed-based plasters and creates a wide array of finishes from traditional to more contemporary effects.
