The new design trend
Stone-effect stucco is a very popular painting technique in recent years in the world of design and is very reminiscent of the natural grain of stone splits.
For the application it is necessary to have an excellent artistic predisposition, for this reason the work is carried out by specialists in the trade.
The advantages of this material
Stone-effect stucco can be applied to both internal and external walls and has particular characteristics, namely:
? It can be washed;
? Resists steam and water;
? It has a very thin thickness;
? It has affordable costs;
Furthermore, it is possible to totally customize its appearance, having practically infinite variations, especially with colour.
The stone effect can also be obtained with particular wallpapers but the final result will be decidedly less realistic.
The various types of stone-effect stucco
Two types of material can be used to create stone-effect stucco finishes: slaked lime or smooth stucco.
Both can be applied to plasterboard and plaster and, if you decide to change the finish, they can be covered or repainted.
But if you know that the wall is subject to mold or cracks we recommend creating a layer of preventive smoothing.
