What is it?
Lime plaster has been used for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations like Egypt and Rome, where it was prized for its versatility in creating durable, decorative surfaces and preserving historic structures. It is a traditional wall finish made from a mixture of lime and sand, known for its natural composition and ability to create seamless, durable surfaces.
The Superiority of Lime
Lime plaster offers exceptional breathability, allowing moisture to escape and preventing issues like damp and mold, while creating a healthier indoor environment.
Its natural composition, durability, and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time make it a sustainable and timeless choice for both traditional and modern spaces.
The fascinating chemistry of lime lies in its cycle, transforming from limestone to quicklime, slaked lime, and back to stone by reabsorbing carbon dioxide.
Lost Tradition
Lime plaster is no longer common due to the rise of cheaper, mass-produced materials like gypsum and cement, which prioritize speed and cost over longevity and breathability.
Sadly, modern building practices and regulations have also shifted focus away from traditional techniques, leading to a decline in skilled craftsmen who can work with lime..
