Raw earth plasters
Combining performance, ecology, savings and creativity.
Colored or untreated, smooth or grainy, straight or rounded... earthen plasters have carved themselves a place of choice in the range of ecological facings. Whether do-it-yourself or packaged ready-to-use, they have a lot going for them: very low environmental impact, temperature and humidity regulation, odor and noise absorption, respect for old buildings... Add to that their unique aesthetic appeal and the impressive variety of possible colors, textures and shapes, and the desire to sprinkle them around your home becomes irresistible!
In this book, Sylvain Moréteau reveals all the techniques for inviting plasters onto the walls of your home. Which clay to choose, where to buy it, how to use it indoors or outdoors, what its properties are... To help you make your own plaster, he includes a recipe booklet supplied by craftsmen all over France. A book for those who want to make their home a warm, healthy place while respecting the planet.
