Authentic Marmorino Venetian plaster wall finish

Authentic Marmorino Venetian Plaster

The Art of Venetian Plaster

Authentic Marmorino plaster applied by skilled craftsmen — a centuries-old Italian technique that creates luminous, marble-like walls with unmatched depth and texture.

What Is Marmorino Plaster?

Marmorino is a traditional Italian plaster made from crushed marble and aged lime putty. When applied and burnished by hand, it creates a polished, stone-like surface with extraordinary depth — no two walls are ever identical.

At TMS Builder, our plasterers are trained in authentic Marmorino techniques, delivering finishes that rival the finest European interiors. From residential feature walls to luxury commercial lobbies, we bring old-world craftsmanship to the Greater Toronto Area.

Why Marmorino

The Benefits of Venetian Plaster

Timeless Beauty

A polished, marble-like surface with natural depth and luminosity that paint and wallpaper simply cannot replicate.

Highly Durable

Lime-based plaster is naturally hard, moisture-resistant, and anti-microbial — built to last decades with minimal maintenance.

Eco-Friendly

Made from natural marble dust and lime putty with no VOCs — a healthy, sustainable choice for your home or business.

Fully Customizable

Available in hundreds of colours and multiple finish levels — from matte and satin to a high-gloss mirror polish.

Adds Property Value

Venetian plaster is a premium finish that elevates interiors and increases the perceived and real value of any property.

Seamless Application

No grout lines, no seams, no joints — a continuous, flowing surface that makes any room feel larger and more refined.

Our Marmorino Process

Every Marmorino installation follows a meticulous multi-step process to ensure a flawless, long-lasting finish.

01

Surface Preparation

We assess and prepare the substrate — repairing imperfections, priming, and ensuring a perfectly flat base for the plaster.

02

Base Coat Application

The first coat of Marmorino is applied by hand using a steel trowel, building up the foundational texture and colour.

03

Layering & Texture

Multiple thin coats are applied in overlapping strokes, creating the characteristic depth and movement of authentic Venetian plaster.

04

Burnishing & Polish

The final coat is burnished with a polished steel trowel to compress the surface and bring out the natural marble-like sheen.

05

Sealing & Protection

A natural wax or sealer is applied to protect the finish and enhance its lustre — the final touch on a truly handcrafted surface.

Finish Options

01

Matte

A soft, chalky finish with subtle texture — ideal for a natural, understated look.

02

Satin

A mid-sheen finish that balances warmth and elegance — the most popular choice for residential interiors.

03

Polished

A smooth, reflective surface with deep marble-like depth — perfect for feature walls and luxury spaces.

04

Mirror Polish

The highest level of burnish — an almost glass-like surface that reflects light dramatically.
