Using Natural Finishes
A Step-by-Step Guide
With the increasing awareness of eco-building techniques alongside the desire to make our homes healthier, the historical benefits of using natural renders and paints are being rediscovered. Using Natural Finishes is an in-depth guide to the selection, mixing, and application of lime- and clay-based plasters, renders, paints, and washes. Providing step-by-step instructions with detailed illustrations to show the practical elements of working with lime- and clay-based finishes, the authors demonstrate how these natural “breathable” plasters and paints can be used on a wide variety of wall surfaces, including traditional and eco-build materials like cob, strawbale, and stone, as well as modern plasterboard and concrete surfaces, with stunning results. Easy-to-follow DIY projects guide the reader through all aspects of using these natural finishes, with beautiful photographs of techniques and examples from around the world.
