How does Breathaplasta stop condensation,
mould and damp?
Breathaplasta has been scientifically developed by Adaptavate specifically to regulate moisture created by people living and working in buildings. Its natural, breathable formulation allows it to absorb moisture from the air into its porous structure when humidity levels are high and release moisture back into the room when humidity levels fall.
In addition to this, Breathaplasta has insulating properties that helps increase the temperature of the surface of the wall preventing condensation from occurring. A naturally higher pH level (alkalinity) also discourages mould from forming.
What materials can Breathaplasta be applied to?
As a versatile plaster product, Breathaplasta is compatible with a wide range of background materials including plasterboard and equivalents such as Wood Wool board – where the labour-saving benefits are really felt. Breathaplasta can also be applied directly to most masonry e.g. brick, block and stone as well as over skimming gypsum plaster if the plaster is firmly consolidated. Installation methods and recommended plaster thickness will vary so it’s best to check the product in Breathaplasta has been scientifically developed by Adaptavate specifically to regulate moisture created by people living and working in buildings.

How much more insulation does Breathaplasta provide compared with other plasters?
The biomaterial within Breathaplasta gives it twice the thermal performance of gypsum and up to four times the thermal performance of other lime-based plasters. Why not use a plaster that will improve the insulation and energy efficiency of your home and contribute to lower energy bills?
What lime is used in the product? Is it compatible with older buildings?
Breathaplasta is a 100% natural plaster product primarily comprised of Hydrated Lime which is a high quality ultra-fine/ultra-white hydrated building lime. We also have a small proportion of NHL 3.5 in the mix. The overall composition makes for a product soft enough to use in older and heritage buildings that require a more sensitive approach and durable enough to be used in areas that are subject to higher levels of wear and tear.
