Frequently Asked Questions About Krakkle
What is Viero Krakkle?
Viero Krakkle is a highly textured decorative plaster that naturally forms organic cracks as it dries, creating a unique, aged appearance. It is acrylic resin-based and specifically formulated for interior applications, bringing a rich, weathered aesthetic to any wall surface.
What makes Krakkle different from other plasters?
Krakkle is unique in its ability to self-crack during the drying process. These natural fissures mimic the look of aged, timeworn surfaces, giving each application an unrepeatable, character-rich finish—ideal for interiors that require personality and texture.
Where can Krakkle be used?
Krakkle is suitable for interior walls only. It’s a perfect choice for:
Feature walls in residential spaces
Boutique shops and hospitality environments
Its distinctive texture works well in both modern and classic design schemes.
Is Krakkle durable?
Yes. Although it’s designed to appear cracked and weathered, Krakkle is formulated with acrylic resin, which ensures the surface is structurally sound and durable under normal interior use conditions.
Does Krakkle crack over time?
Krakkle is intentionally designed to crack during the drying process. These cracks are controlled and aesthetic—they do not spread or worsen over time. Once the finish is fully cured, it remains stable and visually consistent.
Is Krakkle available in different colours?
Yes. Krakkle is available in a wide range of colour options and can also be colour-matched to suit your specific design brief. Browse our brochure for the full palette and custom options.
Can Krakkle be applied by anyone?
Due to its specialised application technique and the importance of achieving the right cracking effect, professional installation is highly recommended. Our experienced in-house artisan team is available to carry out bespoke applications with precision and care.
Is Krakkle suitable for bathrooms or humid areas?
Krakkle is not recommended for areas with high humidity or moisture, such as shower walls or steam rooms. It’s best suited for dry, ventilated interior spaces where its finish can be preserved long term.
How should Krakkle be maintained?
Krakkle is a low-maintenance finish, but due to its textured, crackled surface, gentle dusting or wiping with a dry, soft cloth is recommended. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh chemicals.
