Loft extension with lime plastered chimney stack

Loft extension with lime plastered chimney stack

The client wanted a natural finish for their loft extension, he asked us if we could lime plaster onto a brick chimney in Warminster. We used fat lime putty with hemp fibre to introduce more thermal mass and insulation to the room. As well as providing humidity regulation, helping to prevent condensation and mould formation in the room.

This particular finish was smooth and creamy with small flecks of hemp fibre showing through like gold flakes, and the client loved this and decided to keep the wall unpainted showing the natural tone.
