This stunning fireplace surround is finished with Stucco Italiano's Classic lime plaster. A couple thin layers of finish applied by the right person makes for a fantastic feature wall or fireplace surround like this one. Stucco Italiano's lime plaster is a natural plaster that is breathable and completely inert making it a healthy option for any interior. Completely hard when dry, it is great for fireplace surrounds, walls, ceilings, bathrooms, and even floors and showers if done properly by an experienced lime plasterer.
