Clay plaster surfaces are natural temperature regulators. They stay cool in the summer, and warm during the winter. Breathable and effective at absorbing and eliminating excessive moisture from an interior space, this material is highly valuable when it comes to reducing damp and mould. For this reason, many people opt to use this natural plaster in bathrooms and kitchens, although it is not recommended for the likes of splashbacks or shower cubicles, or anywhere there’s direct contact with water. Composed of pure sands, clays and fibres and coloured with unprocessed oxides and mineral pigments, clay plaster for walls is 100% natural. And there are other benefits to using clay as a decorative finish too.
Unlike traditional plaster walls which must be painted, clay plaster interior walls provide an instant finish that does not release any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other toxins. Being free from chemical additives, clay plaster will not cause respiratory or other health issues. It’s also a great odour and toxin absorber, taking in VOCs and smells from the likes of cleaning products and other materials around the home or workspace to enhance indoor air quality. Clay earth plaster walls are, in addition, anti-static and have the ability to screen electromagnetic radiation from the likes of computers, televisions and other appliances, as well as repelling dust and dirt.
For those looking for a strong and durable decorative finish that is easy to maintain and keep in great condition, clay plaster makes a great choice. Known for its natural durability, this is a material that is easy to maintain, as it repels rather than attracts dust and dirt. Any damage or chips are easily filled with the same material for a seamless repair without having to completely redecorate. Clay plaster is also flexible in nature thanks to its fibre content, and is able to regulate the natural movement and expansion of a building with minimal risks of cracks.
Should you wish to refresh your interior décor, clay plaster can be removed, recycled and reused. By breaking it down and rehydrating it, the plaster is ready to be used again. Otherwise, being 100% biodegradable, it’s easily composted. Because it uses non-fired clay, an abundant natural resource, and unlike synthetic plasters does not contain any resins or other chemical components that use a huge amount of energy in production, this material can be considered an eco plaster, as long as it is sourced locally to keep transportation emissions to a minimum. It’s clear to see that natural clay plaster has much to offer as a decorative finish. Beautiful to look at, versatile and supportive of a healthy environment, it is no wonder this material is growing in demand.
