Natural lime plaster is a perfect wall covering for any high traffic, high humidity environments such as your kitchen, bathroom or spa area.

Lime plasters were traditionally used on the exterior of buildings, in court yards and on exterior columns. Interior walls, ceilings and columns were plastered and incorporated into elaborate crown molding designs.

Excavation sites have revealed the use of LIME PLASTERS being used on the interior and exterior of pre-historic and ancient
buildings. The ancient seacoast city of Carthage plastered all of the buildings within the city gate as well as the city wall with white lime plaster combined with pulverized Mother of Pearl sea shells polished to a high gloss. (Marmarino Plaster with Mother of Pearl) The city would be reflecting the light of the sun during the day and the moon during the night as ships were coming into port or travelers approached by land. The same technique was used on the Great Pyramid.

The History Channel claims that the surface was so bright that it could be seen from space.

The use of lime plaster and lime paint was revived during the Renaissance for use in exterior and interior decoration of castles,
palaces, cathedrals and churches as well as private residences. Renaissance Venice used lime plaster to cover the interior and
exterior of buildings due to the high durability and water resistant qualities of lime plaster.
