Color, textures and combinations are limitless to one's imagination in a sense that Fresco Plaster Finish is 100% custom, creating a one of a kind signature on every installation. The sample process is very user friendly. The client gives a paint chip number or a sample of what needs to be matched, (Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Pratt   Lambert, ect.). Within 10 business days a 1'x 1' sample is formulated and parceled to you, general contractor, whoever you choose. Over 4,000 colors have been formulated and 1,400 are in our library, so if the need arises for a quick sample, one can be sent to you. Once an approved 1'x 1' strike has been approved we send out a 2'x 2' sample for submittal to your client for their approval. If the need arises a 100 square foot mock up can be done on site for final approval before the installation is done. All samples that are sent out are committed to our library for future reference should another similar project or another floor addition occur.

Fresco Plaster Finish is very easily maintained from an end users standpoint. The hardness and strength of the product are derived from the composition of the cement and acrylics. Both the base coat and finish coat are integrally colored in order to make any nicks or gouges that do occur virtually impossible to detect. For general maintenance of nicks, scratches, stains and mars, we recommend a kitchen scrub sponge, such as 3M's Scotch Brite pad , and plain water. Deeper mars can be removed by lightly sanding the area with a very fine sandpaper (220 grit). Since the system is integrally colored, scrubbing or sanding off a few mils of the surface will remove the mar without sacrificing any change in color.

Fresco Plaster Finish is sealed with a minimum of 2 coats of penetrating concrete sealer and two coats of surface protectant so it can be cleaned with the use of a mild commercial cleaning agent, clear in color. This will be sufficient to remove any normal hand prints, beverage spills, dirt, splashes and any other everyday abuses of similar nature.

Should the need for a patch occur, a portion of the original formulation is reserved from the actual installation for a period of five years, the shelf life of the product. After that time period, should a need arise for patch material, additional material will be formulated. The original color formulation and color smears are stored on file to ensure a match to the original color.

Once the sample is approved, material is made and sent to the site for installation. A typical team consists of three union men. These men will install and average of 1,000 square feet in a day, depending upon complexity of the surfaces and spatial interruptions.
