Lime Plaster is a good Choice for Modern Homes

Environmental Benefits of Lime Plaster
Low Carbon Footprint

It takes a lot less energy to make and compared to cement-based plasters. Limestone is only heated to 900°C (against 1,450°C for cement), lowering CO₂ emissions. Even better, it absorbs CO₂ back as it sets, a carbon-free material in the long run.

Breathability & Humidity Control

Due to its permeable structure, it controls indoor humidity levels, hindering the development and enhancing air quality—a significant benefit for health-conscious home owners.

Recyclable & Non-Toxic

When its lifespan is over, lime plaster can be recycled and reused or allowed to biodegrade harmlessly. Unlike artificial paint and plaster, it has no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or microplastics and is thus a genuinely sustainable option.

Energy Efficiency

Since it adsorbs and gives off moisture, it naturally stabilizes indoor temperatures, minimizing the need for heating and cooling systems.
