Looking to incorporate a shower finish that reflects current trends? We suggest lime plaster, an ideal finish for your project. While lime plaster offers a unique finish, it is especially valued for being a natural material that benefits both the comfort and health of the occupants and the built environment.
Why choose lime plaster for a shower project, compared to polished concrete or microcement?
The walls breathe
The permeability coefficient of lime plasters is expressed as a μ value. For lime plaster, the μ value is three times higher than that of cement, the primary ingredient in polished concrete and microcement recipes. Decorative lime-based plasters are therefore more breathable, which eliminates problems related to condensation, humidity, and, ultimately, mold. Lime plaster is permeable to water vapor but impermeable to water.
Flexibility
Lime plaster possesses malleability, both in elasticity and strength. It adapts to the flexibility of the substrate to which it is applied.
Comfort
Lime plaster has healthy properties for the built environment; it is hygienic. Not only does it provide a breathable environment, but its antistatic properties also eliminate stagnant dust. Unlike ceramic, lime plaster has low thermal conductivity, which contributes to a comfortable indoor climate. The lower a material's thermal conductivity, the better its insulation.
A healthy, natural and ecological coating
While many options can be mixed with the numerous solutions available on the market, you'll appreciate lime plaster for its matte finish, even when used in a shower. It evokes tradition, organic materials, and the natural look we love to incorporate into our interiors. Made with 100% natural ingredients, it exudes a distinct aesthetic, unlike other plasters that contain synthetic additives.
