Polished Plaster has been used in London for quite some time now and used to great effect in a wide range of environments. From the high-end residential properties to classy bars and restaurants, whereever you are in London you are likely only a stone's throw from a hidden polished plaster interior. This might be a feature wall in an office building, or a vast expanse of polished plaster hidden deep in London's infamous residential basements, perhaps sitting above a swimming pool mirroring the reflections of the water beneath.

Here at Marmo, we are keen on keeping on top of the latest polished plaster trends, whether it be a 'colour of the year' or textures that our architects are pioneering. We like to know and keep up to date with these trends so they can be incorporated into our growing range of Venetian Plaster finishes and colours.

It is no surprise that the majority of our polished plaster applications can be found in London. With 90% of our enquiries coming from London based architectural practices or construction companies, it really does seem that London is set to stay on top of its game regarding architecture and design, and with it we are sure that polished plaster will continue to be used and incorporated into designs.

Polished plaster, also known as Venetian Plaster, can take many forms. Originally created to emulate different types of stone, mainly marble, the majority of our polished plaster finishes look like natural stone. From highly polished marble effects to more textured pitted limestone looks, the possibilities seem endless.

As the years have passed by, creative artisans in our industry are constantly looking at evolving the different looks and finishes usually following the design trends of the time. There are different types of plasters used to create the different polished plaster finishes,from pre-mixed putties to powder based plasters that can be enhanced by using different sized marble grains. One of the most notable shifts has been towards Concrete Effect Polished Plaster finishes, as the concrete trend took off in the industry around 5-7 years ago and is still going strong today.

The most recent trend that has emerged has been the use of liquid metal finishes and metallic waxes, shifting the look away from natural stone but still staying true to the natural aesthetics of the raw material used to create the finishes.

We are often sent images of different types of stone of surfaces that a client would like us to match and this is what provides us and others with the creativity to further evolve the look of polished plaster, pushing the boundaries and changing the techniques used to create something that looks truly special.

COLOURS

We are proud to offer an impressive range of standard colour options, which can be explored via our online Colour Chart.

As with our finishes, we are also able to provide bespoke colour options, with an accurate colour matching service to match RAL colour references, along with colour references of leading brands such as Farrow & Ball and Little Greene.

When we say that 'you are only a stone's throw away' from a polished plaster interior in London, we believe this is true. In fact, it is highly likely you are only a short distance away from one of Marmo's London-based Polished Plaster installations.

We have worked all over London, from Central London and beyond, working in landmarks such as "The Gherkin" or St. Marys Axe, creating a one off bespoke application for a sky high private members lounge, to office lobbies in Mayfair, and luxury department stores such as Harrods, Selfridges and Wesfield.

You can be sure to find our polished plaster close by when walking around the famous city.

As shown on this page and throughout our website, Marmo Stucco are experts in Polished Plaster applications and have a vast polished plaster portfolio built predominantly in the city of London.
