Limelite Renovating Plaster 25kg – breathable, salt-resistant base coat for damp and heritage walls

Limelite Renovating Plaster is a lightweight, fibre-reinforced renovating plaster that controls and manages moisture movement in traditional and damp buildings. It lets walls breathe so the substrate can dry naturally, making it a fast, effective alternative to traditional lime plasters for re-plastering after a new damp-proof course, flood damage remediation and heritage restoration.

Key features

Breathable – can be applied directly to damp walls and substrates
Contains salt inhibitors to help prevent efflorescence and salt transfer
Lightweight – less than half the weight of a sand and cement plaster
Rapid drying – 24 hours per coat
Fibres reduce cracking and crazing
Suitable for brick, block, stone and wooden lath
Non-combustible (Euroclass A1)

Typical coverage per 25kg bag

10mm – 3m²
20mm – 1.5m²
30mm – 1m²

Figures are approximate and do not account for site wastage.

Application in brief

Prime solid substrates with Limelite Easy Bond and apply the first coat while the primer is tacky.
Apply in coats of 7–15mm with a horizontal scratch, allowing a minimum of 24 hours between coats.
Finish with a skim coat of Limelite High Impact Finishing Plaster. Gypsum finishing plasters and gypsum plasterboard must not be used.
Decorate 24 hours after the finish coat using breathable (mineral or water-based) paints. Wallpaper and tiling are not recommended.
Shelf life: 6 months, subject to temperature and humidity.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a 25kg bag of Limelite Renovating Plaster cover?
About 3m² at 10mm thick, 1.5m² at 20mm and 1m² at 30mm. These figures are approximate and do not allow for site wastage.

How much water do I mix with a 25kg bag?
About 12.5 litres of clean, cool water. Add the powder to the water, mix for 2–3 minutes, rest for 3–5 minutes, then remix, adding a little more water only if needed.

How thick can each coat be, and how long between coats?
Apply in coats of 7–15mm with a horizontal scratch for a key. Allow at least 24 hours between coats. On solid substrates, prime with Limelite Easy Bond first and apply the first coat once the primer is tacky.

Can I finish it with a gypsum plaster?
No. Lime plaster is not compatible with gypsum, so do not use gypsum finishing plaster or gypsum plasterboard. Finish with a skim coat of Limelite High Impact Finishing Plaster.

When can I decorate?
24 hours after applying the Limelite High Impact Finishing Plaster. Use breathable paints, such as mineral or water-based paints. Wallpaper and tiling are not recommended.
