Are lime plasters are what you would expect from lime. The are hydrated (arial lime), that hardens back to stone through a carbonation process once they are applied. The lime plasters will prohibit mold and fungus from growing on your walls. They are hygroscopic, absorbing and releasing moisture in the air. This actually regulates the humidity and cools the room. Our lime is non-allergenic and dust mites can not burrow into the wall. The lime plasters contain no chemicals and are very low in VOC's. A true aged lime is very rare to find here in the U.S. in Italy the manufacture ages the lime for 9 months to a year. Adding the highest grade of marble flour and necessary aggregates to form a true authentic plaster that will last for generations.
