Lime Plaster, The Missing Ingredient In Light Construction

Lime plaster is a time-tested finish that excels in modern construction. Not only is it naturally mold- and fungus-resistant—thanks to its high alkalinity—but it also works seamlessly with steel framing and DensGlass sheathing, which remains permeable to water vapor. This breathability helps regulate indoor humidity and prevent moisture-related issues like corrosion and mold growth. Better yet, lime plaster can be remarkably eco-friendly: its production emits CO₂, but the material later reabsorbs much of that carbon dioxide as it cures, making it a more carbon-neutral choice compared to many synthetic finishes.
