Lime Render & Why Buildings Need to Breathe

It is important that materials used for repair and redecoration are suitable for use on older, traditional buildings. Hard cement renders and many masonry paints do not allow the moisture that is continually being absorbed into the building to evaporate easily. This can result in damp, cold walls, condensation, flaking paint, rotten joints and other timber fittings, increased heating bills and dampness on the internal walls.
