Making your home environmentally friendly can be a lot of hard work. But it is worth it? 100%. And another way you can “go green” is by using clay earth plasters to finish your walls. Clay earth plasters are non-toxic, giving them a huge advantage over regular plasters.

Wait, are you reading this right?

Regular plasters are toxic?

Yes! That is exactly what I’m telling you.

Most regular plasters contain acrylic or resins, both of which take a lot of energy to produce.  But clay earth plasters are made with two main ingredients: clay and sand. This makes them a natural alternative to regular plasters and even regular paint which contains harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 

But aside from containing natural ingredients, there are other awesome benefits to using clay earth plasters.

There are several health benefits that come with using clay earth plasters. For instance, they contain a consistent humidity around 50% - 60%, making it detrimental to dust mites, but ideal for people with allergies or respiratory problems! They also have no nasty chemicals and are actually able to absorb toxins and improve indoor air quality.

There are also several advantages to using clay earth plasters from a building standpoint. Clay earth plasters are flexible and can move without cracking. It also protects the wood in your home from mold by pulling moisture from the timber.

Clay earth plasters are also good for the environment. They are biodegradable and require lower energy/emissions to make!
