Permeability - One Of The Benefits Of Natural Lime Based Plasters

As Humans we have three skins. First, our fleshly skin which is breathable. It transpires. Takes in moisture and lets out moisture. Our skin which is the largest organ of our body is a marvelous creation, and one we need to learn from. Our skin offers us protection and comfort. It offers us comfort precisely because of its ability to breathe.

Our second covering is our clothing. Again our clothing which offers us protection and comfort is breathable. As a rule people do not prefer wearing plastic or vinyl but rather natural fibers because they breathe. Our Third environment is our home. We learn even from people of antiquity that homes should offer not only protection but be breathable. Why should we expect our walls to be made of plastic? That may offer protection but not comfort. It is no secret that many in the wall finishes industry are speaking against vinyl wall covering specifically because they form a moisture barrier in the wall, not allowing the wall to breathe and creating a situation in which mold is not only inevitable but encouraged.
