Porter's Fresco is a hard wearing finish designed to replicate the cool lustre of the trowelled plaster walls of ancient European buildings. Porter's Fresco gives a wonderful depth and rustic originality to interior wall surfaces and sets to an exceptionally hard finish. Porter's Fresco gives elegance and sophistication to any wall and is widely used in foyers, hotel reception areas and concert halls.
Can be sealed with Porter's Stucco Wax.
Porter's Fresco is suitable for residential or commercial interiors. Can be applied to most suitably prepared plasterboard, plaster, masonry and previously painted surfaces.
