Why lime 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 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. Consider replastering walls with lime plaster if you discover damp walls.
Period homes often have decorative carvings in their plasterwork. Get your local plasterer to help you decorate your home.
Give your house a traditional, period vibe with a plasterer near you. Search for plastering contractors by viewing our listings.
