Building Materials

The interest in natural and traditional building materials has grown enormously in recent years, with more people turning to sustainable, alternatives to conventional building materials. We are stockists of lime plasters and mortars, natural insulation products and breathable paints.

How to Buy and Order

 

Lime Plasters

Lime Plasters

Ty-Mawr Lime Hemp Plaster is made from a high calcium lime (also known as a fat/air/putty Lime or non-hydraulic lime) blended with hemp fibres and a pozzolan to aid the set. Hemp plaster can be bought pre-mixed in three different grades, it has some insulation benefits, but its main benefit is ease of use and labour saving, as it can be applied more thickly than conventional lime plasters.
