“ Si j'ai du goût, ce n'est guère
Que pour la terre et les pierres.”

N a t u r a l p l a s t e r s a r e e c o l o g i cReducing the use of cement in construction can significantly reduce the negative impacts of the building industry on the environment. Earth and lime are energy-efficient materials that respect soil, air, water, animal species and, of course, humans .
There are no cement and chemical solvents or other petrochemicals added in our plasters. N a t u r a l p l a s t e r s a r e l o c a lUsing locally sourced materials means avoiding energy-intensive transport and counter-balance global standardisation. Our plasters are made with earth, lime, natural fibers and sands found on-site, and otherwise as close as possible.
N a t u r a l p l a s t e r s a r e b e a u t i f u lEsthetically, earthen and lime plasters offer shades, colors & textures that can not be imitated by synthetic products. Hand-made application, and varying finishing tools, offer a wonderful pallet of unique surfaces.
N a t u r a l p l a s t e r s a r e e c o n o m i cBecause we use local earth, sand and lime, the cost of materials are lower than ready-made chemical-based and transformed mixtures usually used in the building industry.

Traditional plasters, based on lime and earth binder, characterise the architectural Mediterranean scenery, and remind us of its common culture.
These materials are used for thousands of years.
Using them today shows that they are not only part of the past,
but also perfectly suiting today’s needs!

Earth and lime are permeable and breathable and allow a hygrometric regulation.
Earth materials also naturally regulate the interior temperature of a building.
They are therefore perfectly suitable for eco-buildings or traditional houses.
