Special finishes and Gold Leaf
Explore the possibilities of the special finishes we can provide such as fresco or tadelakt plaster for a Moroccan feel.
Gold and silver leaf can add some glamour to any space, a lime or french wash or rust paint for a more rustic appearance.
We can provide expert advice and carry out the whole process. Projects we have worked on include heritage work, churches, theaters, casinos and super yachts, bars,office lobbys and residential interiors.
Walls with a special finish can provide added interest or an exciting feature solution.
