Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Italian plastering take to complete?
The duration of an Italian plastering project depends on the size and condition of the area. Typically, it takes between two and five days, allowing time for each layer to dry properly and achieve the perfect finish. We at Mark Anthony Plastering ensure thoroughness without unnecessary delay to respect your schedule.
Is Italian plastering suitable for all types of walls?
Italian plastering works best on smooth surfaces such as plasterboard or well-prepared traditional plaster walls. If existing walls have imperfections, we prepare and repair them beforehand to ensure the finish is flawless. Mark Anthony Plastering assesses each space individually to recommend the best approach.
Can Italian plastering be painted or decorated afterwards?
Yes, once the plaster has fully cured, it can be painted or left as a decorative finish on its own. Many clients appreciate the natural sheen and texture without additional decoration, but if desired, we can advise on suitable paints or effects that complement the Italian plaster surface.
