Lime Plaster & Mortar

Written By Danielle Cope

Lime plaster and mortar are the backbone of traditional British architecture. Unlike modern cement-based alternatives, lime-based materials are flexible and breathable, making them ideal for historic buildings and sustainable new builds alike.

 At Alex Oliver Associates, we use lime in our projects for the following reasons:

  • Allows buildings to ‘breathe’, preventing damp issues

  • More sustainable than cement-based products

  • Provides a softer, more authentic aesthetic

A timeless material for both heritage and contemporary homes.
