Advantages:
- Improved Moisture Management: Breathable paint allows for the natural release of moisture from lime plaster, which prevents the buildup of excess moisture and reduces the risk of damp issues.
- Enhanced Durability: By allowing moisture to escape, breathable paint helps to prevent problems like mould growth and structural damage that can occur when moisture is trapped behind non-breathable paints.
- Eco-Friendly: Breathable paints tend to be mineral-based, making them more environmentally friendly compared to conventional paints.
- Preservation of Building Integrity: For historic buildings, using breathable paint is essential to maintain the original characteristics and functionality of the walls, as they were designed to manage moisture through permeability.
It’s important to choose the right type of breathable paint to complement the moisture management properties of lime plaster and render, ensuring the longevity and health of the building.
