Why Choose Lime Plastering for Your Home?
Lime plaster has been used for centuries to finish solid masonry walls. Its natural flexibility and breathability make it ideal for:
-
Solid brick or stone walls
-
Listed buildings and heritage homes
-
Properties with condensation or damp issues
-
Eco-conscious renovations
Unlike cement-based or gypsum plasters, lime breathes with your building, allowing moisture to evaporate rather than becoming trapped inside.
Breathaplasta: Modern Lime Plaster with Traditional Values
At Skim 2 Fin, we specialise in Breathaplasta – a new generation of bagged lime plaster that’s:
✅ Quick-drying – Reduced waiting times between coats
✅ Insulating – Helps improve internal wall warmth
✅ Vapour-permeable – Naturally prevents mould and condensation
✅ Easy to apply – Faster, cleaner installations
✅ Non-toxic – Free from harmful VOCs and chemicals
It combines the breathable, healthy properties of lime with the speed and efficiency of modern materials. No more waiting weeks for traditional lime to set – Breathaplasta can be skimmed and finished much faster, keeping your project on track.
Our Application Process
We follow a careful, professional process to ensure a clean and solid finish:
1. Prepare and clean masonry surface (removing dust, flaky paint, or residue)
2. Apply bonding agents or scratch coat if needed
3. Layer the appropriate backing plaster (e.g., sand and cement) to correct depth
4. Allow appropriate drying time
5. Finish with a smooth skim coat for decoration
Our work results in long-lasting, strong, and breathable walls that are ready for painting or decorating.
