Lime plaster is breathable as it is vapour permeable, meaning it allows moisture to pass through it. We use lime plaster in conjunction with breathable wood fibre insulation materials. Using lime plaster reduces the risk of moisture becoming trapped and damaging the fabric of the building.<\/p>\n

Lime plaster will give you a more comfortable home environment, especially when used together with wood fibre, as it absorbs and then releases moistures, meaning that humidity in your home will be kept at a healthy level.<\/p>\n

Lime plaster is an eco-friendly material, as it uses less energy in its manufacture than other plasters.<\/p>\n

An added bonus with lime plaster is that it gives such a nice finish, many of our customers don\u2019t bother painting over it \u2013 so you could save yourself having to re-decorate! If you do wish to paint over the lime plaster, you must use a breathable paint \u2013 check out Nutshell<\/a>, based in Devon.<\/p>\n

If you are looking to buy lime finishing plaster, lime bonding plaster or lime render, please have a look at what we sell,<\/a> or contact us: 0117 909 8090 or\u00a0info@urbane-eco.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n
