The character of natural stone, troweled seamlessly over drywall for feature walls, columns, lobbies, fireplaces and fixtures across Toronto and the GTA. No cladding, no joints, no structural work.
Stone look plaster is the widest family of finishes we produce. A limestone look is soft, chalky and monolithic. A sandstone look carries fine grit and warmth. A cast stone or precast look is smooth and architectural with quiet tonal shifts. A rammed earth look is banded and stratified. A marble look is burnished, veined and luminous. All of them are lime and marble plasters worked by hand over drywall, block, MDF or existing tile, and all of them are seamless. If you are searching for stone effect plaster in Toronto, faux stone wall finish, plaster that looks like stone, or a lightweight alternative to stone cladding, start here. The travertine family has its own page.
Soft, matte, fine-grained and chalky, in French limestone creams, Indiana greys and warm putty tones. The most requested stone look for lobbies and feature walls.
Warm, granular and lightly textured, pale sand through ochre. Pairs well with oak and brass in retail and hospitality.
Smooth, cool and architectural, with the mottling of cast material. Sits between limestone and our concrete look.

The brief calls for limestone, cast stone or a monolithic stone wall, and the building, the budget or the schedule cannot carry real stone. That is most of our stone look work. We match tone, grain and scale to your sample or reference on a board, then apply the finish seamlessly across the elevation including columns, curves and bulkheads. It photographs as stone, it is sealed for cleaning, and it is repaired in place. Fixtures and panels can be finished in our shop when the millwork schedule needs it, and our Ottawa team repeats the finish for locations there.

A lime and marble based plaster, troweled by hand in layers and worked to reproduce the colour, grain and surface of a specific stone. It can read as limestone, sandstone, cast stone, rammed earth or marble, and it goes on a few millimetres thick over your existing walls.
For interior walls, yes. It gives the monolithic, jointless look that cladding cannot, weighs almost nothing, and is installed in days. Where a design needs the depth of dimensional stone at a base or a corner, we can pair the two.
Yes. Tone, grain, banding and surface texture are matched on a sample board and approved before any site work.
Yes. Curves and columns are where plaster beats every other option, because there are no units to cut and no joints to hide.
Sealed stone effect plaster wipes clean and resists scuffing well. In the highest-contact areas we use a harder, denser plaster and a matching topcoat. Damage is spot-repaired and blended in place.
It depends on the stone being matched, the area, the substrate and the detail. We quote from drawings or a site visit, and the quote includes sample boards.
Share your stone reference or drawings and we will bring sample boards to your site or studio. Serving Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Oakville, Richmond Hill and the GTA.
