Lime Plastered vs Exposed Masonry - Research Data

In this video we compare the behavior of an exposed brick wall vs a lime plastered wall. Some very interesting findings.
Another video compares a lime plastered wall vs a cement plastered wall: • Lime Plastered vs Ceme...

So how to prevent damp rising? In an old house

[@coreconservation]

You need a damp proof course for that. A non-invasive option is the magnetic DPC system. This takes a completely new approach to damp proofing: Instead of attempting to BLOCK the rise of the moisture, this prevents the BONDING of water molecules to capillary surfaces. As a result it improves the breathability of the wall fabric. More info here: www.coreconservation.co.uk/magnetic-dpc-construction/
