Veneer Plaster System For New Drywall or Existing Finishes
Vella Venetian Plaster Systems
September 5, 2013

Along with its decorative applications, Vella Veneer Plaster is also an ideal surfacer for taking a Level 3 drywall finish or existing painted orange peel/ knockdown textures to a perfect smooth surface and ready for paint. As most other decorative finishes require a Level 5 surface before applying, the plaster product will simplify the subcontractor’s processes.
Utilizing a 5-gallon contractor pail and the addition of an aggregate pack turns this product into a Marmarino finish. The product allows applicators to go over non-uniform surfaces at $10 per gallon and 100 square feet per gallon coverage that competes with other products in production capability and aesthetics.
