Lime has Self-Healing Properties
Buildings are subject to small degrees of movement due to expansion and contraction due to weather conditions. This leads to the development of large, gaping cracks which are a big red flag for the structural integrity of the building. Lime plaster only leads to fine cracks and these fine cracks are then filled with lime when free lime is dissolved by water and deposits into these spaces. This self-healing process is vital when it comes to maintaining the exterior of the building for a long time.
Recommended for Repairs by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings
Lime is the plaster promoted for repairs by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings because it is breathable. The plaster allows water vapours to permeate through, which prevents the trapping of moisture and the subsequent damage to the fabric of the building.
Beautiful and Durable
When mixed and used by professionals, lime can stand the test of time without any trouble. There are many buildings which are proof of the durability of lime plaster. The Pantheon Temple in Rome, which has stood for more than two thousand years, and the Caesar’s Tower at Warwick Castle, which boasts six hundred years of a strong structure, are two such examples. Durability is not the only strong suit of lime plastering. When light refracts through the calcite crystals, the resulting effect is a beautiful lustre and soft texture that gives a graceful look to the structure.
