Authentic plasters are lime- based plasters that are made from marble, lime, and other natural aggregates. They are produced by traditional methods that have been around for centuries and have been improved with modern technology. Authentic plasters are all natural and have not been engineered synthetically. Synthetic plasters are made with resins, polymers, acrylics etc. and are made to simulate “real” authentic plaster. These synthetic plasters perform well but can not emulate all the physical and beneficial properties of authentic plaster and, in my opinion, are second best.
In home construction there are plenty of examples that are comparable: Examples such as vinyl versus leather, tile versus marble, laminate versus real hardwood flooring, laminate counters versus granite etc. When building your home, office, etc. all these materials may work but you should have the option to select the one that works best for you. European Finishes uses a complete line of products, (system), that features authentic-lime plasters imported from Italy. The primers, plasters, waxes, tints etc. are all compatible products that when applied with the proper tools and techniques, the results are truly amazing!
