Where Artistry Begins
Everything you need to put a Zavoré finish into a scheme, on one page. Samples, the colour library, the finishes and a direct line to the person who lays them.
Also in the range, tadelakt, travertino, clay plaster and concrete effect.
On site, a specified finish is sometimes swapped for something that looks similar in a photograph. These are the three questions worth asking before you agree.
Real Venetian plaster is lime. It cures by drawing carbon dioxide from the air and hardens back towards stone. Many products sold under the same name are an acrylic binder with marble dust, which forms a plastic film on the wall. The depth, the feel under the hand and the way it ages are different.
Lime lets moisture vapour pass through the wall. An acrylic film holds it in. On older solid walls and period properties that difference matters long after the decorators have gone.
A lime finish can be patched and blended back into the wall by someone who knows it. An acrylic finish is much harder to repair without the patch showing, and often means redoing the whole wall.
A one page sheet per finish, with a ready written specification clause, being finished now. Email sales@zavore.co.uk with the finishes you need and we will send them the moment they are ready.
High resolution files of each finish for your visualisations are in production. Tell us the finish and tint you are working with and we will send them as soon as they exist.
See the finishes at full size in the Birmingham showroom and put a trowel to a board yourself. By appointment.
We bring samples and lunch to your practice for a 45 minute session on specifying lime plaster. Ask us for a date.
