ARTELIME Architectural Plaster Living Space with Curved Arches and Natural Textures in Toronto

Beauty lives
in the details.

Q: What's the difference between limewash paint and Venetian plaster?

Limewash is a breathable, mineral-based liquid paint that absorbs into porous substrates, creating soft tonal variations and cloudy movement. Venetian plaster is a thick, authentic slaked-lime putty applied with specialized stainless steel trowels to create smooth, polished, or textured architectural stone finishes.

Q: Is microcement suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, microcement is ideal for bathrooms, showers, and wet rooms. When properly sealed with our polyurethane barrier system, it creates a completely seamless, grout-free, water-resistant surface that is easy to clean and highly durable.

Q: Can plaster be applied over existing painted drywall?

Yes. We apply specialized quartz bonding primers to standard painted drywall to ensure optimal mechanical grip before troweling our lime and microcement formulations.
