The benefits of lime plaster

One of the top benefits of lime plaster, of course, is it environmental impact (or lack thereof). Because it absorbs carbon, it can eventually become carbon neutral
There are other benefits, too. Lime render and mortar is vapour permeable. It allows the building to breathe. It is softer than cement and therefore allows natural movement and does not damage the fabric of the building.
