Abstract
Discusses the identification, treatment and application of the
right finishes to early buildings, with particular emphasis on
lime‐based materials. Examines the role of lime in historical building
construction and the lime cycle. Outlines limewash varieties and looks
at its traditional use, mentioning its advantageous ability to breathe
and cut down on condensation problems. Describes removing old paint and
the appropriate use of distemper. Suggests that despite drawbacks,
lime‐based materials are cheaper and more enjoyable to use than modern
equivalents.
