Fassa Bortolo inspire the next generation of renderers

Latest News Mon, Nov 4, 2019 10:07 AM

Fassa Bortolo has recently completed a new project to inspire the next generation of renderers with a stunning transformation at the Silver Trowel plastering school, based in Lee-on-the-Solent in Hampshire.

Demonstrating the design possibilities achievable with decorative plaster, Italian render specialist Fassa Bortolo gave the walls of the reception area a new lease of life creating an inspiring space for plasterers to learn their trade.

The Fassa team was briefed to deliver a solution that would offer a unique talking point and tie in with the school’s specialisms. Collaborating with local authorities and colleges to teach beginners and experienced tradespeople about external renders, plasters, dry lining and tile application, the Silver Trowel complex spans two floors, complete with a number of spacious training bays.

After consideration the Fassa team specified RS02 from the Sfide D'arte Ricordi Stucco range. A decorative plaster with striking orange tones, the reception now has a stunning polished plaster feature wall, that effortlessly reflects the light to open up the space, while providing a practical surface solution.

Commercial manager at Fassa Bortolo UK, Dale Telling explains: “Decorative plaster is an age old wall covering that has been made 21st century.

"A surface solution that requires some skill and training to apply, the design possibilities are endless with designers and architects now embracing plaster as contemporary alternative to tiles, paint and wallpaper. Our Sfide D’arte collection offers an extensive range of colours and finishes, and has added character to the reception area with its authentic, polished design.

"We hope future plasterers are inspired by its use and become a fan of this design-led plaster.”

Colin Teagle, director at Silver Trowel adds: “We were keen to showcase the beauty of Venetian plaster within our new refurbishment with the finished effect and colour complementing our reception perfectly.

"Fassa was professional at all times sending their own specialist out to carry out the work for us. As a provider of training courses, we will be looking to work with Fassa again in the future.”
