The Benefits of using Lime
Breathable
Lime is breathable (vapour permeable), absorbing and evaporating moisture from surrounding masonry, allowing moisture to easily pass through it, whereas cement will trap and prevent moisture from escaping. Using lime plasters and lime mortars on damp walls and environments will allow the structural walls to breathe.
A build-up of moisture can lead to failed plaster, damage of structural masonry as well as causing the growth of dangerous mould and fungus’ within the home.
Flexible
Cement-based plasters and renders are strong; however they lack greatly in flexibility which can easily result in cracking. Cracks in external walls will allow the ingress of water and damp. Cement render traps moisture easily and can cause the render or plaster to fall over time.
Lime whilst not as hard as cement is more flexible. It allows for movement and thermal expansion, minimising cracking and prolonging the life of plaster.
Environmental
Lime-based products are much more eco-friendly as the manifesting process produces less carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). During the setting process of lime mortar, it reabsorbs carbon dioxide, therefore lowering its carbon footprint even further.
Aesthetic
Natural lime reveals the colour and characteristics of the aggregate, offering a more attractive and traditional appearance which is often paler in colour. By using a breathable paint, lime plaster can have a modern or colourful finish.

From foundations to finishing touches, our site carpentry ensures structural integrity and fine craftsmanship.
