Lime Plastering

Lime plaster is a time tested material that has been used for centuries in historic buildings. It is used to stabilise the internal humidity of a building by absorbing and releasing moisture. Lime is highly breathable, allowing moisture to evaporate from the walls. This makes it suitable for older buildings or structures with a higher risk of moisture infiltration. It helps prevent issues like dampness, condensation, and mold growth.

Modern gypsum based plasters has led to the almost complete demise of lime plastering, and many of the traditional skills associated with the craft.

Lime plaster offers advantages over cement based mortars and gypsum plasters.

- Vapour permeable: allows the structure to "breathe"

- Flexible: can accommodate general movement better.

- Self-healing: can help to reduce cracking problems.

Modern Plastering

Gypsum plaster, is the most commonly used type of plaster. It is made with gypsum and is combined with hardeners. It is less flexible than lime and less breathable which makes it unsuitable for period renovation projects. However, it is ideal for creating a smooth finish in modern homes and offers faster drying and setting times. This enables plasterers to complete projects more quickly and reduces the overall construction timeline.

Modern plastering techniques and materials have evolved to provide improved performance, durability, and aesthetic options. These advancements contribute to the creation of visually appealing and long-lasting plastered surfaces in both residential and commercial settings.
