WHY LIME PLASTER
Why Choose Lime Over Cement?
Breathable & Mould Resistant
Lime plaster allows moisture to escape from walls, helping prevent dampness and mould growth. This keeps indoor air cleaner and walls healthier over time.
Durable with a Timeless Finish
Lime plaster ages beautifully and can last for decades when properly maintained. Its soft, matte finish gives walls a classic, elegant look that never goes out of style.
Eco Friendly
Made from natural materials without harmful chemicals, lime plaster is safe for homes and it has low carbon footprint compared
to cement based plasters.
Easy Maintenance
Cracks and damage can be easily patched with fresh lime plaster, which bonds naturally with the old surface. This makes repairs seamless, quick, and cost-effective.

HOW IT WORKS
Our 3-Step Application Process
1. Surface Preparation
2. Layered Application
3. Curing & Final Touches
1. Surface Preparation
The surface must be clean, free of dust, oil, or loose particles. Existing paint or coatings should be removed. Lime, sand, and water are mixed in the appropriate proportions. Typically, a 1:3 ratio of lime to sand is used for interior plastering and for exterior plastering it should be 1:1:2 , but this can vary based on the specific requirements.
2. Layered Application
First Coat
Applied to a wet surface to ensure proper adhesion. For cost effect we use gypsum. The time period and the cost is very less.
Second Coat
Applied after the first coat has set but is still damp. This coat is leveled and smoothed to prepare for the final finish.
Final Coat
A thinner and smoother coat for the final finish. Can be customized with pigments or special textures.
Colours
We start with six natural base colours and blend them to create a wide palette of 307 unique shades available in the market.
3. Curing & Final touches
Once the final coat is applied, the plaster is gently cured by keeping it slightly moist for several days. This allows the lime to carbonate properly and gain strength. After curing, we add any finishing touches such as custom textures or colours to ensure a smooth, durable surface with a beautiful, long lasting finish.
