TY-Mawr ecological building products ee ...breathing life into buildings Made entirely from British ingredients, Ty-Mawr's lime hemp plaster is a combination of lime and hemp fibres designed to give interior walls a lively, textured finish. Al a time when we are all concerned about the environment, the lime hemp plaster offers a sustainable option- the product uses renewable hemp plant fibres instead of the more traditional quarried sand to reduce its environmental impact, when blended with high calcium lime, the resutt is a plaster that literally breathes and flexes in harmony with the property in which it is used. It also improves the insulation value of walls and, as it helps to achieve air tightness, can greatly improve the energy efficiency of your building. “I thin that the T)-Mawr Line Hamp i the mo so and labour saving ime asad product on the market which makos the use of me much more affordable and ser fray for evoryone."
