Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Saturday, February 18, 2006 Perfect plaster? http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/athome/259627_clippings18_plaster.html? source=rss Earth Plaster has received rave reviews from the National Association of Home Builders, which gave it an " outstanding new green product award. " It also has been noticed by Architectural Digest and BuilderNews. This all-natural product -- a mix of clays, aggregates and pigments - - resists mold, controls moisture, won't fade and it's non-toxic and hypoallergenic. Earth Plaster comes in textures ranging from baby-bottom smooth to coarser surfaces achieved with additives. Rustic or porcelainlike, this product is easy to apply. Just mix with water and spread. It comes in 30 colors that can be mixed or matched to enhance your decor. Prices start at $50 for a bag that covers about 200 square feet. Check out their Web site, www.americanclay.com, or find it next to other environmentally friendly materials in booth 1207. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I bookmarked this to look into in the future. It looks really interesting. My home is an old plaster home and mold inspector said it probably is what saved house from mold damage spreading. Mold can grow on studs or on some types of insulation but not on or in old fashion plaster. On the downside, plaster walls crack when house settles from time to time. If crack is pretty large, you have to do whole wall rather than patch like drywall. If crack is small, you can spackle. Anyway, this stuff says it is easy to repair so maybe has benefits of old plaster with improvements on maintenance. If someone decides to look into this, I would ask how to repair small and large cracks, before deciding. It may be worth it anyway. --- In , " tigerpaw2c " <tigerpaw2c@...> wrote: >> > Saturday, February 18, 2006 > > Perfect plaster? > > http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/athome/259627_clippings18_plaster.html? > source=rss > > Earth Plaster has received rave reviews from the National > Association of Home Builders, which gave it an " outstanding new > green product award.
