Project Details & Specs
Interior walls received wood lath directly over studs as a substrate for clay plaster. Base coat (about 3/4in thick) was mixed on-site using powdered clay from a nearby brick manufacturer, sand from a local materials yard, and straw from a feed store down the road. Exterior ICCF Block walls received a base coat of Structolite. Gold Hill Clay Plaster: Zenith was used for all finish coats.
