Lime is a Timeless and Sustainable Building Material. Lime is one of the oldest building materials, with evidence of its use dating back to at least 4000 BC. Its enduring popularity speaks to its many advantages, especially as a natural alternative to cement-based plasters and renders.

Unlike cement, lime requires less energy to produce, making it a more environmentally friendly choice. Lime is also breathable, allowing vapour to pass through the building envelope and preventing moisture from being trapped inside. This property helps maintain healthy indoor environments and reduces the risk of damp-related issues.

Lime plasters are more flexible than their cement counterparts, allowing them to better withstand the natural movement of a building without cracking. This is particularly valuable in older buildings where the structure may settle or shift over time. Additionally, lime is far more repairable than cement plaster, making it a sustainable choice for maintenance.

Beyond its technical benefits, lime finishes offer a beautiful texture and range of through colours that add warmth, depth, and a natural sense of movement to our projects. Its aesthetic qualities enhance the character of a space, creating a timeless and inviting atmosphere.
