The plaster range hood

A sculpted range hood in polished Venetian plaster, limewashed walls, and microcement where it splashes.

This is a concept, not a finished client project. The pictures are illustrative renders of work we can do; when we finish a job like it, its real photographs will be under Projects.

The system
  • Range hood. Venetian lime plaster, layered and burnished
  • Walls. Limewash, brushed in crossing strokes
  • Backsplash. Concretta FS microcement, sealed with PlasterGuard

The range hood becomes the room's centrepiece in polished bone-white Venetian plaster. The walls around it move softly in limewash, and the backsplash behind the range is seamless microcement: plaster where it is seen, microcement where it is splashed.

On site, in order

  1. 01Protect the kitchen; prepare the hood surround and walls
  2. 02Venetian plaster on the hood, coat by coat, then burnished
  3. 03Limewash on the walls; microcement on the backsplash
  4. 04Seal the backsplash

Worth knowing

  • The hood surround is plastered over a sound, prepared base; the hood insert itself is the appliance's.
  • Limewash is chalky and completely matte. It is not for the splash zone, which is why the backsplash is microcement.
