Description

Using Natural Finishes is a practical, in-depth guide showing step-by-step instructions on how to select, mix and apply lime and clay based plasters, renders, paints and washes. The authors demonstrate how these natural breathable plasters and paints can be used on a wide variety of wall surfaces, including cob, strawbale and stone, as well as modern plasterboard and concrete finishes - all with stunning results.

With ever increasing awareness of eco building techniques, together with making our homes healthier, the historical benefit of natural finishes are being rediscovered. A full colour book, clearly explained, with beautiful photographs of techniques and examples throughout, and the passion by the authors of their trade is demonstrated in this lovely book. A very enthusiastic couple who also wrote the Building with Cob - a Step-by-Step Guide.
