polished lime plaster

[downshifter]

Hi
Has anyone used or thinking of using or have an opinion on polished lime plaster such as tadelakt or Venetian plaster. We are thinking about using this to finsish the walls of a downstairs bathroom as it is meant to be waterproof and breathable. (Thats why it was used in Turkish Bath). Our cottage is stone built with lime mortar/plaster etc and a limecrete floor.

Don't know anything useful, I'm afraid, but it sounds absolutely gorgeous!
If you do decide to go ahead with it, promise to keep us posted (with pictures, of course).

Hi Moo thanks for trying to chivvy people on. Mike Wye has a big section on his website and in his photos it does indeed look gorgeous. Its applicable for bathrooms and wet rooms so it seems it should be a process which should be embraced by the lime loving community. If no-one here has used it thats fine. Ill keep you up-dated about our experience.

Have a ovely sunny weekend
