Beyond Aesthetics The Health Benefits of Breathable Lime-N-Clay Plaster

What Is Lime-N-Clay Plaster?

Unlike conventional plasters and synthetic wall finishes, Lime-N-Clay plaster is made from Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL), mineral aggregates, and colour-rich clays. Sourced and manufactured in India using abundant natural resources, this plaster is non-toxic, zero VOC, recyclable, and fully compostable.

It breathes. It adapts. And most importantly, it nurtures healthier interiors.

The Hidden Health Power of Breathable Walls

1. Improved Indoor Air Quality

Standard interior paints and gypsum plasters often release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)—harmful chemicals that accumulate in closed environments. Lime-N-Clay, however, is not only free of these toxins but actually absorbs CO₂ over time through a natural chemical process called carbonation. This means every layer of plaster helps purify the air you breathe.

2. Natural Humidity Regulation

Lime-N-Clay acts as a moisture buffer, absorbing excess humidity and releasing it when indoor air becomes too dry. This passive regulation helps prevent mold growth, mitigates dust mite colonies, and promotes respiratory comfort—especially valuable in humid climates or poorly ventilated spaces.

3. Anti-Microbial & Mould-Resistant

Thanks to its high alkalinity, lime is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, making your walls hostile to mold, mildew, and harmful microbes. This translates to fewer allergens in the home and a safer environment for children, seniors, and those with respiratory sensitivities.

4. Thermal Comfort & Energy Efficiency

By helping regulate interior humidity and temperature, breathable plasters can contribute to energy savings. Cooler interiors in summer, warmer in winter—your HVAC system works less, and your energy bills reflect it.

Sustainable Inside and Out

Environmental consciousness doesn’t end at performance. Lime-N-Clay Heritage Plaster leaves a smaller carbon footprint from production to disposal. Its unique composition of local, biodegradable materials means it’s as gentle on the planet as it is on your lungs.

Whether applied indoors or out, its ultra-durable surface can last over 200 years—an incredible lifespan compared to conventional wall finishes. Plus, its rich, natural hues require no synthetic pigments, adding character without chemical compromise.
