Why Choose BUILD?
Workability: The lime we've sourced is known for its excellent natural plasticity - it's ability to spread and adhere. With outstanding water retention, it stays workable longer, ensuring easier application and a stronger, more durable finish.
Durability & Flexibility: Our pozzolanic-lime formulas provide added strength while accommodating natural structural movements without cracking.
Breathability & Moisture Regulation: Lime Plasters enable walls to absorb and release humidity, preventing condensation, mold growth, and structural damage.
Pricing: Our products are the most affordable in the industry, making high-quality, sustainable building materials accessible to a wider range of projects and budgets.
Standardized yet Versatile
While exterior & interior BUILD plaster assemblies are standardized based on best practices for the highest quality aesthetic finish, versatility is BUILD's hallmark.
Every natural building project is a unique structure. Experienced builders can modify the system a little or a lot, depending on a project's needs.
Our standardized color palette features 54 mineral pigment shades, offering a streamlined and effortless color selection process. To support your design decisions, we offer a Fan Deck and Finish Samples, and a Custom Color service available for tailored solutions.
