Natural Mineral Walls

Lime Plaster

The oldest finish in the world, and still the most quietly luxurious.

Overview

Lime plaster gives a wall something paint never can: depth. The surface is mineral, slightly alive, with soft tonal movement that shifts through the day. It is also breathable, which matters enormously in coastal Mumbai and monsoon-heavy Pune, where sealed plastic paints trap moisture and blister while lime lets the wall dry outward naturally.

We slake, tint, and apply traditional lime systems as well as modern lime-based formulations, choosing between them based on the substrate, exposure, and the look you are after, from cloudy limewash to compacted marmorino.

Breathable mineral system

Vapour-open walls that manage humidity naturally, ideal for older buildings and coastal exposure.

Living, natural depth

Soft tonal clouding and a matte mineral surface that changes subtly with the light.

Monsoon-appropriate

Lime handles moisture movement that cracks and peels conventional sealed paint films.

Naturally alkaline & low-VOC

Mould-resistant, solvent-free, and safe for bedrooms, nurseries, and wellness spaces.

How it works

Our process for lime plaster projects

  1. 01

    Substrate assessment

    We test the existing wall for compatibility, damp, and salts before recommending a lime system.

  2. 02

    Sample & tint approval

    Pigmented samples applied on site; lime dries lighter, so approval happens on cured boards.

  3. 03

    Base & finish coats

    Applied in thin successive passes with proper curing time between coats, never rushed.

  4. 04

    Curing & aftercare

    Controlled curing, optional soap or wax finish, and clear guidance on living with a lime wall.
