Plaster decorations production phases

The plaster decorations production takes place in house in the company's laboratories that are fully-equiped by our high skilled and decorations expert craftsmen. The production cycle can be divided into different phases, according to the element to be created. .

1st PHASE: creation of the samples in our laboratory

On the basis of the project drawings, the samples of the decorations are created in our laboratory.

• Drawing of the decoration in scale 1.1 in order to faithfully reproduce even the smallest details. Working drawings show both the decoration's layout and its section together with its maximum thickness.
• Modelling of the decoration by using kaolin in a plastic state in order to facilitate its workability. Once the model is ready, it is placed inside a air circulating drying oven set at 80° C for at least twelve hours.
• Creation of the mould's base, after having previously applied a kaolin layer about 10 mm. thick on the sample. Once the gypsum is dry, the mould is detached from the sample, which must be cleaned of the kaolin layer before it starts setting.
• Repositioning of the plaster's base on the sample, after having drilled a hole on it, through which silicone rubber is then cast. Once it is dry, the final shape of the sample will be obtained.
