Spatulata
The Spatulata finish is pure luxury. Pioneered by the Egyptians; improved by the Romans; it became known as Stucco lustro veneziano by the venetians. Traditionally it was applied in 10-15 fine coats over a backgorund of 2 - 3 layers of semi-dry marmarino and finally polished with hot irons.

Modern additives have greatly improved the working characteristics enabling it to be applied in just 3 - 5 layers and polished to a glossy shine with a small steel blade or trowel. Spatulata as a finish has great adhesive properties, we have used it on many substrates including GRP and GRG.

For many spatulata is the ultimate Venetian stucco; certainly the the one with the highest sheen and the most intriguing texture.The spatulata finish has been specified for many of the most prestigious commercial builds throughout Ireland and may be seen on the ceilings of the ice bar in the Four seasons Hotel, Dublin.
