Fast and Easy! Heavy traditional plasters, step sside!Venetian Plaster
So what is Venetian Plaster? These days, Venetian Plaster can refer to many of different products, formulas, and effects. Atova Venetian Plasters are typically considered as Acrylic/Organic based products that produce polished encaustic, trowel, or spatula effects. End user products such as Stucco Veneziano, Stucco Specchio and even light acrylic textures such as Muro Antico can all produce such effects.
With so many Venetian plasters on today's market to choose from, as well as alternate methods of application, you may find yourself asking what makes our plasters so different? Perhaps you'll find there isn't much of a difference, or perhaps the difference is in the way it's applied. Maybe the difference is in the support, information, and color tinting capability of our products. Our job is to help you decide.
We believe our formula stands out from the vast majority. We also realize, that there are many ways of applying Venetian plaster and have tested many of such methods out on our products. We've put to the test the many varieties available today.
Lime and Silicate Stucco
Stucco & Aggregates Textures
Suitable for both the interior and exterior, products such as intonaco, intonachino, and stucco rustico are granular products that resemble the stucco you might find on the exterior of a building or home. What is unique about these traditional materials is their finishing flexibilty and character. Whether compacting the granular suface into a smooth and even polished surface, or creating an aged surface by pulling back product or creating peaks, aggregates are as realistic as it gets. Some even consider these products as liquid stone.
Faux Glazes
Atova has recenlty re-thought it's faux finishing mentality. We've created 3 main categories for our glaze. Within these 3 categories, you'll find all your faux finishing needs. Mineral faux glazes, acrylic faux glazes, and designer faux paints make up these three groups. When searching for a solution for adding the finishing touches or for colorwashing texture, Atova clearly describes what glazes react best with various textures such as Venetian Plaster, Marmorino, aggregates, and Intonachino. For acrylic based systems, Atova assigns glazes suitable for such applications, and others glazes for mineral based systems.
Intonaco Finishes and Fffects
Responsible for many of the effects found here, Intonacois a trowel applied stucco that is extremely permeable and hard. Finishes such as Travertine Tile, IntonacoIslands, IntonacoOro, and La Gromola use either a lime Intonachino or Silicate Intonaco as a base for their texture and strength. The Atova Decorative Finishing Studio has prepared precise information and tutorials that describe each and every step needed to create all sorts of stucco aggregate textures effects.
