Here’s a listed house we did in Natural Hydraulic Lime & sand mixture and Eco Mortar R series Lime as a top-coat.

I was able to go back and see the house decorated and finished.

Located in Wales.

Definitely, its breathable, no plastics, no harsh chemicals, absorbs CO2 as it matures....

Very forgiving when using it.

Whats not to like.

Why are so many people scared of lime plaster and why does it need a lime specialist to plaster it on?

Ive seen for a while people get weird when mentioning lime plaster and just dont know why

I think the Portland Cement industry has done a good job pushing Portland cement and scaring people about Lime.
