Commercial Custom made plasters

Meditation House

This little outhouse in a villa´s garden is constructed with straw bales.

To fill and straighten the rough surface of the compressed straw we applied a lime putty base plaster aditivated with recycled cork and straw. These additives do not only save material, decreasing the weight of the plaster considerably and add insulation, they also save labour by allowing the layers to be applied in double thickness without decreasing the resistance and durability of the plaster.

The base layer was covered with a floated hydrated lime plaster in Oxide Yellow.
