Lime Plaster
The qualities of lime plasters vary according to the source of the lime, the kinds of aggregates and other ingredients added, the application method, and other factors. When we specify lime plaster for a particular project, we select our mix based on a matrix of desired properties including color, texture, strength/weight ratio, density, and hardness. Rather than just buying a product off the shelf, we are committed to helping take lime plastering back to its artisanal roots. Through our work with communities around the world, we help keep this craft relevant, advising entrepreneurs, manufacturers and government agencies on production and regulation standards.
Earthen Plasters
Earthen plasters are as diverse as human cultures. Mixtures of what is available often make the plaster. Today the wonderful line of earthen plasters from American Clay are what we often use. Working with clients and their own site materials is a delight as well.
American Clay and other earthen plasters:
- can be applied for a finish interior plaster over sheet rock, brick, old lath and plaster, painted walls, straw bale, adobe, cob, and more.
- materials are non toxic
- 1 year warranty with the option to buy a 10 year service warranty.
