Common questions
About renovation plaster
Is renovation plaster waterproof?+
It is generally designed to manage damp-related conditions and salts, not to replace source control or structural waterproofing.
Can I use vinyl paint?+
Dense finishes can inhibit drying. We advise on compatible decoration for the chosen system.
Is it right for old buildings?+
Sometimes, but traditional construction may need a breathable lime-based approach and specialist heritage advice.
