A Venetian plaster range hood is a custom kitchen hood finished with natural lime-based plaster to achieve a refined, sculptural look. It creates a smooth, matte or subtly textured surface with depth and movement, often resembling stone, marble, or concrete. This artisanal finish becomes a focal point in any kitchen, blending functionality with timeless elegance.

Yes. Venetian plaster is naturally heat-resistant, making it ideal for range hoods. When professionally applied and sealed, it holds up well to the ambient heat, steam, and humidity found in kitchens.

Absolutely. Venetian plaster is fully customizable—from soft whites and organic earthy neutrals to dark, moody tones. You can choose between matte, satin, metallic, or polished finishes depending on the look you’re going for (e.g., minimalist, rustic, or high-end gloss).

Venetian plaster requires minimal maintenance. Gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges. Re-sealing every few years can help maintain the finish.

When sealed correctly, Venetian plaster is highly durable and resistant to stains and moisture. It’s a popular choice in luxury kitchens for its longevity and timeless appeal. It can last for decades, often developing a rich patina that enhances its character over time.

Yes, as long as the structure is sound and properly prepared. We can apply Venetian plaster over drywall, MDF, plywood, or metal hoods, depending on the project. This makes it an excellent choice for kitchen renovations without replacing the entire hood.

Cost varies based on size, surface preparation, desired finish, and overall project complexity. Pricing starts at $2,800 for a standard range hood with a smooth Venetian plaster finish. For a detailed quote tailored to your kitchen design, please contact us directly.

Beyond its beauty, Venetian plaster is a functional choice—it’s heat-resistant, eco-friendly, customizable (colours and finish), and low-maintenance. It creates a sculptural centerpiece that can elevate any kitchen design.

While all four finishes—Venetian plaster, Tadelakt, Microcement, and Roman Clay—offer unique textures and aesthetics, they differ in performance and application. Venetian plaster is a lime-based finish that delivers a smooth or subtly textured, stone-like appearance, ideal for adding elegance and depth to a range hood. Tadelakt, also lime-based, is highly water-resistant, making it better suited for wet areas like showers but still usable on range hoods for a softer, organic look. Microcement is a cement-based coating known for its industrial, seamless finish and extreme durability, but it lacks the natural movement and depth of plaster. Roman Clay provides a matte, earthy, clay-like surface with visible variation, perfect for rustic or modern bohemian styles, though it’s less heat-resistant than Venetian plaster. For kitchens, Venetian plaster offers the best combination of heat resistance, timeless beauty, and customization options, while the others may be chosen for specific stylistic or functional needs.

A plaster finish is a custom, artisan-applied coating that gives a range hood a beautiful, handcrafted texture and appearance. We use materials like Venetian plaster, Roman Clay, and microcement to create a seamless, sculptural look that turns the range hood into a centerpiece. Unlike traditional wood or metal, a plaster finish is a unique design statement.
