Stucco Italiano lime plasters are extremely durable and less prone to shrinking and cracking than traditional cement finishes. The lime plasters breathe; allowing water vapor to permeate freely so moisture evaporates quickly, unlike acrylic finishes which can trap moisture inside the wall.
When lime plasters sets, the result is a hard-as-stone, long-lasting mineral coating. The natural, oxide pigment system results in the colour being preserved on the walls.
Our Polished lime-based Plasters are non-toxic and green. The ability of the end result to absorb and diffuse elements can help lead to optimal indoor air quality. The naturally high in pH, lime finishes act as an anti-bacterial surface, neutralizing the development of organic substances such as mold and fungus.
