- Centuries-old techniques
- Depth and luminosity
Our Finishes
Explore our comprehensive range of decorative plaster finishes, from traditional Venetian plaster techniques to modern microcement and specialist decorative effects. Each finish brings unique character and beauty to your space.
Venetian Plaster
Marmorino
Marmorino means little marble: marble dust in lime, polished smooth, moving between light and shade as you cross the room. Interior and exterior.
- Smooth, lustrous surface with depth
- Gradual movement between light and shade
- Visible workmanship creates character
Intona
A stucco much like Marmorino but with more sand and a coarser aggregate, giving a uniformly rough surface with the look of honed natural stone.
- Uniformly rough texture
- Natural stone appearance
- Slight colour variations
Lucidato
The most highly polished of the Venetian plasters — a deep, near-mirror sheen that carries light across a room. For walls meant to be noticed.
- High-gloss, mirror-like finish
- Exceptional light reflection
- Deep, luminous appearance
Modern Materials
MicroCement
A seamless waterproof coating for floors, walls, worktops and showers that bonds over what is already there, so nothing has to come out first.
- Seamless, continuous surface
- Waterproof and ultra-durable
- Modern industrial aesthetic
Decorative Finishes
Decorative Finishes
Paints and applied finishes that are not plaster — glitter and flake, glitter paint, crystal quartz, foil and real metal, pearlescent and pearl velvet.
- Paints and applied finishes, not plaster
- Catch and change with the light
- Seamless — no joints, grout or trims
Sealed Flake – Ilumitextra
Glitter and pearlescent metallic flake finishes sealed under a hard-wearing lacquer — completely waterproof, scrubbable, and available in hundreds of colour and finish variations.
- Well-defined multicolour flake combinations with a luxurious visual texture
- Final lacquer coat gives a smooth, easily cleaned surface
- Completely waterproof — great for bathrooms and kitchens
Crystal Quartz
A quartz-aggregate decorative render — strong, durable and waterproof — for wet rooms, kitchens and hard-wearing communal areas, inside and out.
- Quartz aggregate render
- Strong, durable and waterproof
- Goes straight over existing tiles
Crystal Brush
A brushed-on glitter glaze that makes walls glisten and sparkle — subtle to bold depending on light and viewing angle. A contemporary decorative effect for feature walls and living spaces.
- Fine glitter suspended in a clear, brushed-on glaze
- Applied in a cross-hatch pattern so the shimmer shifts with viewing angle
- Runs subtle to bold, dark to light, as the light changes
Glitter Flake
Large flake glitter worked into the finish for a bolder sparkle than standard glitter — it catches the light differently from every angle.
- Larger flake-style particles
- Maximum sparkle impact
- Dramatic light reflection
Metallic
Gold transfer foil and real metal — laid on and worked by hand over a prepared texture, at the top end of the metallic finishes we do.
- Real metal and transfer foil
- Laid on and worked by hand
- Takes its pattern from the texture beneath
Bespoke Finishes
Bespoke Finishes
One-off plaster finishes made to a brief: colours matched, textures developed and effects worked up for a single job and not repeated anywhere else.
- Completely custom finishes
- Unique colour combinations
- Custom textures and patterns
Curves & Columns
Decorative plaster applied to curved walls, barrel vaults, domed ceilings and columns — surfaces that need a different technique from a flat wall.
- Specialist curved surface skills
- Seamless application
- Follows architectural form
Stencilling & Graphic Design
Stencilled patterns, motifs and logos worked over any base finish and picked out in a contrasting texture, colour or metallic effect.
- Traditional to contemporary patterns
- Custom logo application
- Damask and geometric designs
Banding & Blockwork
Bands and blocks of contrasting plaster finish — Lucidato against Intona, smooth against textured — used to give a flat wall some architectural interest.
- Combines different finishes
- Creates bands or blocks
- Horizontal or vertical orientation
Render Systems
Render Systems
Modern external render systems for the Isle of Man climate — spray cork, mineral and lime, lightweight thin coat silicone, monocouche and through colour, and external wall insulation.
- Superior weather protection
- Excellent thermal performance
- Advanced polymer technology
Spray Cork Render
Natural cork sprayed onto a wall: insulating, breathable, and flexible enough to bridge hairline cracks. An external finish that is not painted.
- Natural cork particles
- Thermally insulating
- Acoustically insulating
Mineral / Lime Thin Coat Render
A traditional breathable lime render for older buildings, applied in thin coats so moisture can leave the wall instead of being trapped behind it.
- Traditional lime-based system
- Highly breathable
- Thin coat application
Light Weight Render Systems
Thin coat render systems for Isle of Man exteriors — mesh-reinforced, flexible and applied straight over existing render or dash, with a silicone top coat. Light in weight and build-up, not insulated.
- Thin coat, low build-up
- Alkali-resistant fibre mesh
- Flexible, anti-crack
Monocouche & Through Colour Renders
Single-coat render with the colour mixed through before it goes on, so it never needs painting. Breathable, machine-applied, inside or out.
- Single-coat application
- Through colour — never needs painting
- Micro-porous and vapour permeable
Conventional Render
Cement Render
Traditional cement render for Isle of Man exteriors — hard-wearing, weather-resistant coatings including pebbledash and roughcast textured finishes.
- Hard-wearing, impact-resistant surface
- Excellent protection against Manx coastal weather
- Suitable for smooth float, textured or dashed finishes
Pebbledash
Traditional pebbledash finish — washed aggregate cast onto a fresh cement render coat for a hard-wearing, distinctive Isle of Man exterior.
- Extremely durable, decades-long lifespan
- Natural washed aggregate cast into the final coat
- Excellent resistance to driving rain and coastal exposure
