Our artists value lime plaster finishes for its historical significance, tactile versatility, durability, and environmental sustainability. There are many reasons why, for more than a millennia, lime plasters have been utilized on both the interior and exterior of buildings:
Breathable and Flexible: Lime plaster is a permeable surface, which allows moisture or water vapor to escape and seep through.
Water-resistant: Lime plaster performs well in damp environments, therefore are great for bathrooms and kitchens.
Heat-resistant: Lime plaster is durable for heat up to 500 degrees celsius, making it suitable for fireplaces and kitchen range hoods.
Mold Resistance: When natural limestone is heated to become quicklime, the lime used in our plasters, the pH rises and the alkaline state acts as a natural biocide.
Eco-responsible: Lime plasters are sustainable materials produced without plastics or harmful chemicals.
Aesthetic: Lime plasters are completely customizable to provide a beautiful, organic look and feel to your space.
