Troweled to Perfection

An earthen plaster is a finish unlike any other. Leather soft, yet tough and resistant to abrasion. A breathable, touchable wall that embodies the color and feel of the landscape from which it is harvested. Earth plasters can be rough and rustic or refined and polished. A natural choice for walls built of earth or straw but versatile enough to be applied to existing drywall or masonry to create a help maintain a fresh indoor atmosphere. Nothing beats a clay plaster fortified with some fermented bison dung!

Let it Breathe
Modern homes are quick to suffer from reduced air quality. Lately, there has been a trend of making modern buildings as tightly sealed as possible while regulating air exchange with automated HVAC systems. This can work well as long as power is not lost to the home, however if the grid power is lost in such instances, the effects on the structure and occupant can be detrimental. In older homes where leaky windows are being upgraded and insulation is added to walls and attics to improve energy efficiency, the fresh air exchange goes down and the indoor air quality can plummet. A breathable earthen plaster can help filter and exchange air, as well as modify ambient humidity. The air quality can be dramatically improved by simply applying earthen plaster over drywall.
