Why plaster in period homes?

For centuries, old style homes used plasterwork to decorate their homes. Understanding and maintaining old plasterwork is an important aspect of caring for your period home. Here are some important points to look out for.

• Check what type of plaster you have. Traditional, lime and clay plaster supplies have a soft, homely feel and are breathable materials. Modern plasterwork by plastering companies and services often use plasterboards covered with gypsum, which is hard and solid.
• Breathability is important for old brick and mortar buildings, as they rely on moisture being able to evaporate through the plaster. This prevents the moisture from damaging the walls. If you discover damp walls, consider plaster repair services that can replaster your wall with lime plaster.
• Period homes often have decorative carvings in their plaster walls and ceilings. You can often ask your plasterer for decorative carvings in the finishing plaster.
