Most homes have floor trim / base board (the wood that is between walls and floors). This is done for looks and durability. If you’re doing a Venetian Plaster house, you can skip the trim and save lots of money, and it looks pretty cool, too.

If you are doing wood floors, you can plaster the wall all the way down to the floor, and then run ¼ baseboard / trim (it’s not really baseboard) to hide the slight imperfections of the wall meeting the floor.

If you have tile or concrete floors, rum the plaster right into the grout or concrete. It’s a very nice clean look.

For durability moppinh the floors, and not getting dir on the plaster, use our sealer, ‘Miracle Sealants Impregnator Porous Plus’, to seal the bottom 4 inches of your wall. That way it will be cleanable. For nicks from vacuum cleaners, or other, fix it as described in ‘Maintenance’ section of our website (spackle with plaster and sand when dry).
