Frequently asked questions

Not sure which finish is right? Learn the difference between each Decora Venetian Plaster finish.

What's the difference between Venetian Plaster and Microcement?

Venetian Plaster is a lime-based wall finish with hand-applied texture and depth. Microcement is a cement-based coating tough enough for floors, wet areas and benchtops, applied over existing surfaces. Texture on a wall means Venetian Plaster. A seamless surface you can walk on means Microcement.

How is Venetian Plaster different from paint?

Paint sits on the wall as a flat colour. Venetian Plaster is built up in hand-applied layers of lime and marble dust, creating real texture and depth that shifts with the light. It's also breathable and naturally mould resistant, which paint is not.

Can Venetian Plaster be used in bathrooms?

Yes, with the right finish. Tadelakt is a traditional waterproof lime plaster, sealed with soap, used in Moroccan bathhouses for centuries. It's the go-to for wet areas. For general bathroom walls, most lime finishes perform well thanks to lime's natural moisture resistance.

How many finishes are there?

The Decora lime collection runs to eleven slaked lime finishes, ready to use straight from the bucket, plus five powder finishes mixed on site. We stock a curated selection and can order in specialty finishes on request.

How many colours are available?

156 colours across the GL series. Some carry a tinting surcharge, shown when you select the colour.

Is it hard to apply?

It's a skilled finish. The layering and burnishing take practice to get right. If you want to learn it properly, our two-day training course covers everything.

Will it crack over time?

Done properly, no. Lime actually hardens over time and is more flexible than you'd expect. Correct substrate prep is the key to a lasting finish.

Is it suitable for commercial projects?

Yes. Lime finishes are used widely in hospitality and retail fit-outs. Data sheets covering VOC content and performance are available for specification. See our Technical page.
