Breathable, Lightweight Renovation Plaster for Damp Walls

Limelite Whitewall One Coat Plaster is a high-performance, lightweight plaster formulated for internal use on walls affected by damp, salt contamination, or where breathability is required. Its unique composition resists moisture while allowing trapped damp to escape, making it ideal for use in refurbishment projects, basement conversions, and heritage buildings.

Suitable for use over Limelite breathable undercoats, traditional solid backgrounds, and lime-based plasters, it simplifies plastering by serving as both a base and finishing coat. It offers excellent workability, salt resistance, and low shrinkage.
