Yes. On luxury projects, mockups/samples are not optional — they are the standard. We offer unlimited sample options. Check out our catalog to get started.

Plaster behaves differently depending on:

• Natural daylight
• Raking or grazing artificial light
• Ceiling height and wall scale
• Adjacent materials (stone, millwork, textiles)

We only approve finishes in the actual space under final ideal lighting. The approved mockup/sample becomes the project benchmark.

Because Marrwall finishes are hand-applied, subtle variation is expected and part of the beauty. Uniformity is not the goal — controlled movement is.

Premium plaster requires premium preparation.

All surfaces must be “paint-ready” or equivalent to a Level 4/5 finish prior to installation. Any seams, bubbles, or inconsistencies in the substrate can telegraph through the final surface.

For best results, we recommend:

• Paper-faced corner beads to prevent edge cracking
• A dust-free environment during installation
• Water and electricity fully operational on site
• Proper humidity and temperature control

Plaster is not a product that hides imperfections. It reveals them. Preparation is everything.

Material selection depends on use, exposure, and design intent. This is a short list. Use our scheduler to connect with a senior finish design consultant about your specific project.

Plaster

Ideal for dry vertical surfaces. Creates architectural depth and mineral softness.

Tadelakt

Best suited for showers and wet environments when installed as a complete waterproof system. Offers a seamless, sculpted aesthetic.

Microcement

A more robust option often specified for horizontal surfaces or higher-traffic areas.

Limewash

A softer, chalky finish used to introduce subtle movement and tonal variation.

We guide clients through material selection based on performance requirements and the emotional tone of the space.

Yes — when required and installed as a complete system.

In showers and wet areas, we apply a fully integrated waterproof membrane beneath the finish. The performance of the system depends on controlling the substrate and installation from start to finish.

For plaster showers:

• Resealing is typically required every 6–12 months (similar to natural stone).
• Gentle cleaning is recommended (no harsh chemicals).
• Proper ventilation extends longevity.
  

True luxury materials require thoughtful care — but reward it with timeless character.

Marrwall approaches each project through consultation first — aligning on aesthetic direction, performance requirements, and sequencing before any material touches the wall. Check OUR PROCESS for step-by-step details.

Typical timelines:

• Fireplace or hood feature: ~2 days
• Larger projects: approximately 500–1,000 sq ft per day depending on scope and complexity
• Custom sample lead time: 2 weeks + shipping
  

For new clients, custom sample production typically begins after a deposit. Long-standing trade partners may operate differently.

Our work is not transactional. It is collaborative.

Pretty much, but not exactly. Plaster is a mineral-based material and will always read differently than paint. We can achieve near perfect alignment, but exact duplication may vary throughout a room depending on light, sheen, and movement.

Small repairs can often be blended. Larger repairs especially on waxed or highly polished finishes may require refinishing the affected section or the entire wall to maintain visual continuity.
