The shower

10 years ago

I was wondering what material was used on the walls of this shower? Is it a sealed venetian plaster? Wonderful job!!

Features Two coat veneer base

This product was used throughout the house. It is a matt finish alternative to Venetian plaster which can also be repaired more easily than the Venetian without having to redo the entire wall. You are right, It is probably sealed in the shower enclosure. Venetian was popular, at least in this region, 10 years ago but has pretty much become passé. Thanks for the kind comment and good luck on your project.
