Lime plaster has been in use for hundreds of years a long time before the present day and more up-to-date sand and cement and gypsum methods came into practice and used for the more modern structures that are being constructed today.

Why do you need to use Lime Plaster?
Lime mortar, lime plasters and lime renders are a natural, breathable covering utilised in old buildings constructed with a porous brick, or with timber framed panels. The panels were often in-filled with wattle and daub, and lime render was applied as the outer finish coat, with lime plaster used inside.
Lime plastering is generally based in the restoration of the older structures which lately there has been resurgence all over the UK. We ourselves as a business have also completed many restoration jobs using the more traditional lime plaster to grade one and grade two listed buildings throughout the UK.
Suction Control and Bonding
Before the application of any new lime coatings, hydraulic or non-hydraulic, it is vitally important to check to the degree of suction within the background. Poor or excessive suction can result in a weak bonding with the substrate caused by rapid drying of the newly applied render, which will result and a weak and powdery interface which will lead to later failure and separation. Where there is little or no suction further action will be required to help bond the coating to the substrate.
