A finish should feel like part of the architecture.

We create seamless, tactile and expressive surfaces that bring depth, movement and individuality to a space.

Every project begins with the surface itself: its condition, purpose, exposure and relationship to the surrounding design. From there, we recommend the preparation, finish system, texture and protection required for a considered result.

Vila Finishes works with homeowners, builders, designers and commercial clients across renovations, new builds and bespoke architectural projects.

Four ways to transform a surface.

Each finish has its own visual language, performance qualities and ideal applications.

Before starting your project.

Every finish depends on the surface beneath it. These answers are general guidance; final recommendations are made after understanding your project.

Ask us a question

The best option depends on the room, substrate, exposure, intended use and desired appearance. We can compare microcement, Venetian plaster, Marmorino and bespoke alternatives during your consultation.

Yes. Colour, movement, texture and sheen can be adapted within the capabilities of the selected finish system. Hand-applied finishes naturally contain variation, which gives each surface its individual character.

Yes. Preparation is essential to the appearance and durability of the final surface. Requirements vary by substrate and may include repairs, levelling, priming, waterproofing coordination or reinforcement.

It may be suitable for selected wet-area applications when the substrate, waterproofing, product system, installation and sealer are all appropriate. Each wet area must be assessed individually before work begins.

Yes. Vila Finishes can collaborate with homeowners, builders, interior designers and other trades on residential, commercial and bespoke projects.
