Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/06/2014 -- While homeowners are sprucing up their homes, one common area of focus is pre-existing columns and wall niches. These features are often underutilized accents that can be used to create a truly stunning atmosphere. Known as the premier faux painting contractors in Philadelphia, Colkett Painting is now offering realistic marbling to Montgomery County. Their marbling service offers the aesthetics of marble with only a fraction of the cost of having the precious rock installed.
The painters at Colkett Painting have been extensively trained in the Renaissance faux stone painting technique. The practice creates a product that will fool viewers into believing the surface was crafted from marble. To achieve a realistic look, they use water and oil born bases and paints to apply many layers of glaze to the desired area. Next, they place the general shapes into the surface where they will build the layers of colors. The glazes are then blended to create depth of veins in the work. Before applying the final layers, the painter will add crystallizations to complete the authentic marble look.
Their painters, leading faux painting contractors in Montgomery County PA, create the realistic marble look by visualizing a block of marble that needs to be cut into the final product. Rather than simply swirling the veins down the object, they strive to achieve the natural look of veins running throughout the marble block. Colkett Painting can make any aspect of the home, from vases to fireplace mantles, appear to be cut from any variety of marble.
For residents interested in adding the elegant touch of marble to their homes, Colkett Painting can produce this look without the need for any remodeling work. For more information on their marbling services or to learn more out the company, visit their website.
