I wanted to mention first of all that the interest in Venetian plaster just continues to increase week by week. I've had samples of several types of plasters that are truly amazing. It seems the possibilities are limitless when it comes to styles, colors and effects that can be brought together for both wall and ceiling surfaces.
Venetian seems to be just the tip of the iceberg, as they say. I was just in a supply house here in the Midwest and they showed me several new products that can be applied over foam board and gypsum board. The finished surface resembled the walls in a castle, as if large stones or blocks were fit into place. Many of these products are used for exterior or interior applications and the psi strength they have is also impressive.
