Lime plastering is one of the oldest and most trusted methods of plastering  walls, and it’s making a comeback for good reason.

Unlike modern plasters, lime plaster is natural, breathable, and flexible. It allows buildings, especially older or heritage ones to breathe by letting moisture escape instead of trapping it inside the walls.

That means:
No damp or mould
Healthier indoor air quality
Longer-lasting finishes
A more natural look and feel

Because lime plaster expands and contracts with temperature and humidity, it’s far less likely to crack than modern materials, making it ideal for both period properties and eco-builds that need to move naturally with the seasons.
