Heritage Lime Skim is a wet, ready-mixed lime putty finishing plaster designed for internal applications as part of a traditional lime render system. Off-white in colour and made with premium non-hydraulic lime putty, this superfine plaster is ideal for projects demanding a smooth, breathable, and highly vapour-permeable finish.
Crafted with natural sands, chalk dust, and our own in-house matured lime putty (aged for a minimum of four months), Heritage Lime Skim offers unmatched workability and finesse. Its fatty, high free lime content makes it more breathable and flexible than hydraulic lime alternatives, making it especially suitable for conservation and renovation work.
