Discover the Benefits & Beauty of Natural Clay Plasters
Elevate your living spaces with the unparalleled beauty and benefits of natural clay plasters.
This age-old, eco-friendly material has been used for centuries to create stunning, functional
surfaces in architecture around the world. Embracing natural clay plasters means investing
in sustainable, healthy, and aesthetically pleasing interior design solutions. Made right here
in Aotearoa.
Sustainability Meets Sophistication
Natural clay plasters are crafted from abundant, renewable resources—primarily clay, sand,
natural pigments and fibres. This means that their production has a minimal environmental
footprint compared to synthetic alternatives. By choosing clay plaster, you're reducing your
home's carbon footprint while supporting sustainable local building practices.
Healthier Indoor Air Quality and Thermal mass.
One of the standout benefits of clay plaster is its remarkable ability to improve indoor air
quality. Clay’s hygroscopic nature regulates humidity by absorbing excess moisture and
releasing it back into the air as needed, which helps to maintain a comfortable and healthy
indoor environment. Depending upon the plaster thickness it also increases the thermal
mass of a space contributing to temperature stability & acoustic performance.
Creative Versatility and Timeless Appeal
Clay plaster offers an array of creative finishes and textures, from smooth and polished to
rustic and rugged, as well as carved and sculpted. Its versatility allows you to achieve a wide
range of looks that complement any design style. We specialise in custom designing plasters
and finishes, tailor made for the specific project.
Durability and Ease of Maintenance
Contrary to what one might expect from a natural material, clay plaster is incredibly durable
and resilient. It can withstand minor impacts and scratches, and any imperfections can often
be easily repaired with a simple touch-up. Furthermore, clay plaster ages beautifully,
developing a unique patina over time that adds character and charm to your walls.
Eco-Friendly and Non-Toxic
Clay plaster is free from harmful chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are
often found in conventional paints and wall coverings. This makes it an excellent choice for
those with allergies or sensitivities. Its natural composition ensures that it’s safe for both your
family and the environment. It is 100% recyclable and compostable and can comply with
“The Living Building Challenge”
In summary, natural clay plasters are more than just a wall covering; they are a commitment
to sustainability, health, and beauty. Transform spaces into a sanctuary of elegance and
eco-consciousness with the timeless charm of clay plaster. Experience the perfect blend of
form and function, and make a choice that reflects your values and enhances your living
space.
