Frequently Asked Questions
What is lime plastering and how is it different from modern plaster?
Lime plastering uses natural lime as its binder instead of cement or gypsum found in modern plasters. This makes it more breathable and flexible, ideal for older, historic buildings that require materials compatible with their original construction.
Can lime plaster be used on all types of properties?
Lime plaster is especially suited for period properties, listed buildings, and oak-framed homes due to its breathable and flexible nature. While it can be applied to other buildings, its primary benefits are most appreciated in traditional structures.
How long does lime plastering usually take?
The time taken depends on the size and complexity of the project, as well as drying times between coats. Typically, projects can span from several days to a few weeks, ensuring each layer cures properly for a lasting finish.
