Many different designs are available to cover all architectural periods and styles, for example, Victorian, federation, gothic, and art deco just to name a few. Use ornamental plastering to create simple designs or go all out to create a beautiful, ornate look. It really is up to you and the look that you like.

The designs are produced using moulds and then affixed to your home by the plasterer so that it looks like it has always belonged.

Ornamental plastering is done by a plasterer, or plastering company. When sourcing your ornamental plastering, look to see what type of pieces that the plasterer produces. Ask to see examples of their finished work where possible. Always find out the cost of producing and installing the ornamental plasterwork before going ahead with anything.
