Italian Plasters - New from Kelly

The term "Venetian Plaster" was coined in the early 80's here in the USA because of its origins in the Venetian Region in Italy. "Venetian Plaster" or "Italian Plaster" usually refers to a polished plaster, either lime or resin. In Italy, the term "Venetian Plaster" is not used; the plasters are called "Decorative Stuccos". Many people call them faux finish, but because these are true plasters, not faux, we refer to them as Italian Plaster, Venetian Plaster or Decorative Stucco. Most of these Venetian Plasters can be used indoors or outdoors without restrictions.

Kelly is a certified applicator with these Venetian Plaster products.
