Substrate Preparation
Careful preparation of existing stone or brickwork, removing loose or unsuitable material and preparing the background to receive the appropriate lime plaster system.
Traditional Lime Base Coats
Traditional sand and lime base coats applied in appropriate layers to build out and level the background while maintaining a breathable plaster system.
Lime Finish Coats
Lime finish coats are applied by hand to achieve the required texture and appearance, from traditional floated finishes to fine smooth lime finishes, while maintaining a breathable plaster system.
Insight
Traditional buildings require materials that work with the existing structure. Understanding the background, choosing the appropriate lime system and applying each coat correctly are fundamental to successful restoration.
