The cost of a Venetian plaster range hood in Toronto is a reflection of the specialized skill, premium materials, and custom labour involved. While a specific price depends on the size and complexity of your project, you can expect it to be a significant investment in your home’s value and artistry. Our custom Venetian plaster range hoods start from $2,800 and go up, depending on the size, design complexity, and finish.

A high-quality Venetian plaster artisan will provide a detailed quote that includes all materials, labour, and finishing treatments. The application process typically takes 2-5 business days to complete, as each of the multiple thin layers of plaster requires a specific drying time to achieve the desired depth and luminosity. This meticulous process ensures a finish that is not only beautiful but also durable enough to last for decades.

While Venetian plaster offers a timeless and elegant finish, we understand that every homeowner in Toronto’s diverse neighborhoods, from the sleek condos of King West to the modern homes of The Bridle Path, has a unique vision. For those seeking a different aesthetic, we also specialize in two other exceptional finishes for your range hood: microcement and Roman clay

Microcement: The Modern, Industrial-Chic Finish

Microcement is a composite material made from a cement base with added polymers and resins. This modern, seamless coating is known for its polished, concrete-like appearance, offering a raw, industrial aesthetic that has become highly sought after in contemporary design.

Why it’s a great option: Microcement is exceptionally durable, waterproof, and highly resistant to heat, making it a practical choice for a kitchen range hood. Its smooth, joint-free surface is easy to clean and maintain, and it can be tinted to a wide range of colors, from a classic concrete gray to a bold, modern hue. This finish is perfect for a clean, minimalist kitchen in a newly built home on Bayview Avenue or a converted loft in The Distillery District.

Aesthetic Difference: Unlike the luminous, subtle movement of Venetian plaster, microcement offers a more uniform, consistent look. Its aesthetic is grounded in a raw, almost brutalist elegance, appealing to those who favor a strong, architectural statement.

Roman Clay: The Earthy, Organic Alternative

Roman clay is a traditional, lime-based finish that shares a heritage with Venetian plaster but offers a distinctly different look. It is known for its soft, matte, and velvety texture with a subtle, earthy variation that evokes a sense of natural tranquility.

Why it’s a great option: Roman clay is a natural, low-VOC material that creates a gentle, serene atmosphere. It’s perfect for adding an organic, artisanal feel to a kitchen without the polished sheen of Venetian plaster. This finish is an ideal choice for a modern farmhouse in Hoggs Hollow or a sophisticated, rustic-style home in Forest Hill South.

Aesthetic Difference: While Venetian plaster can be polished to a mirror-like shine, Roman clay’s beauty lies in its soft, subtle, and non-reflective surface. The texture is more understated, with a chalky, suede-like feel that adds warmth and a quiet character to the space.

Whether you’re drawn to the classic luxury of Venetian plaster, the sleek modernism of microcement, or the organic warmth of Roman clay, our artisans are skilled in a variety of techniques to create the perfect focal point for your Toronto kitchen.
