Benefits of Using Natural Plasters…
Natural plasters and paints are primarily made from readily available natural materials that require minimal or no energy for processing. This makes them healthier and more eco-friendly.
Using natural finishes reduces exposure to VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds found in chemical paints, varnishes, etc.), which positively affects air quality by helping regulate humidity and temperature. The main appeal of using earth as a building material is its natural, subtle, and simple aesthetics. Natural plasters are versatile, allowing for various textures and colors without needing a chemical paint layer.
These finishes can be sponge-finished, smooth, trowel-finished, rough, brush-finished, hand-finished, fibrous, plain, or grainy, and can be combined with natural color pigments, providing endless options.
The beauty of natural plasters also lies in their imperfections. Each plaster or finish is unique, adding a distinctive and admirable touch. When applied appropriately, natural plasters can redefine space finishes, offering an earthy, handmade feel and a timeless sense.
