Microcement & Decorative Finishes
in San Antonio, Texas
Where centuries of plaster tradition meet modern Italian craftsmanship.
San Antonio's Decorative Finish Experts
A City Built on Plaster Deserves the Best
San Antonio is, at its core, a plaster city. The whitewashed walls of the Alamo. The sun-baked lime renders of Mission San José. The ornate stucco facades lining King William Street. For over three centuries, plaster has been the defining material of San Antonio's built environment — a thread connecting Spanish colonial missions to German merchant houses to the contemporary homes rising along the Pearl District.
ATRIA USA brings this plaster tradition into the 21st century with a suite of Italian-formulated decorative finishes engineered for modern performance. Our venetian plaster delivers the same luminous, polished marble effect that graced Renaissance palazzos — but with waterproof sealing and UV stability that historic lime plaster could never achieve. Our microcement creates seamless floors and walls that honor the monolithic plaster aesthetic of mission architecture while withstanding the demands of contemporary family life.
For San Antonio homeowners renovating in historic districts like King William, Monte Vista, and Dignowity Hill, ATRIA finishes offer something precious: the ability to modernize interiors without destroying the architectural character that makes these neighborhoods irreplaceable. Microcement overlays at just 2–3mm, preserving original floors, clearances, and structural integrity. Venetian plaster and limewash can be applied over existing drywall or plaster, creating period-appropriate surfaces with invisible modern protection. It's renovation without compromise — exactly what San Antonio's historic homes deserve.

Neighborhoods We Serve
From King William to Stone Oak
In the King William Historic District, our venetian plaster and limewash installations complement the Victorian and Italianate architecture that defines this neighborhood. Monte Vista homeowners use our finishes to refresh early 20th-century homes — maintaining period character while eliminating the maintenance headaches of aging plaster.

In Stone Oak and The Dominion, new construction projects specify ATRIA finishes from the blueprint stage, designing around the seamless aesthetic from day one. Along the Pearl District and Southtown, restaurants and boutiques choose microcement for spaces that honor San Antonio's industrial heritage while feeling unmistakably contemporary.
The ATRIA Difference
Why San Antonio Homeowners Choose ATRIA
Heritage Meets Innovation
San Antonio's architectural identity is built on plaster — from the lime-coated walls of the Spanish missions to the stucco facades of King William's Victorian homes. ATRIA's venetian plaster and limewash finishes honor this plaster heritage while delivering 21st-century performance: waterproofing, UV stability, and decades of durability that traditional lime plaster cannot match.
Perfect for Historic Renovations
Renovating in King William, Monte Vista, or Dignowity Hill means respecting architectural history while upgrading livability. Microcement overlays existing surfaces at just 2–3mm — preserving original floor heights, door clearances, and structural integrity. No demolition, no damage to historic substrates, and a finished look that complements rather than conflicts with period architecture.
Built for San Antonio Summers
With 100°F+ summers and intense UV exposure, surface materials in San Antonio need serious heat resistance. ATRIA's polyurethane-dolomite formula withstands temperatures up to 120°C without softening, cracking, or yellowing — a critical advantage over acrylic-based products that fail under Texas sun exposure.
Riverwalk-Inspired Design
San Antonio's design culture draws from its unique position at the crossroads of Mexican, Spanish, German, and Southern traditions. Our decorative finishes — from warm terracotta microcement to aged bronze metallicum — reflect this rich material vocabulary, allowing designers to create spaces that feel authentically San Antonio.
