Case Histories — Wood Wool Board, Natural Plasterboard

The Requirement

• During a refurb on a period property, in one room the services were too close to the timber ceiling joists.
• There wasn't enough clearance above potential riven laths to apply lime in this manner.
• The architect insisted on replacing with Riven Lath & lime plaster or find a suitable alternative.
• A high quality skim finish was needed.

Project Details

• High end residential in Grosvenor Estate and a Grade 2 listed building.

The Solution

• Natural fibre Wood Wool Boards, an alternative to plasterboard
• Traditional lime plaster applications were employed over the boards
• Glass fibre mesh was added for reinforcement & crack control
• Super smooth lime finish plaster completed the works to allow for decoration.
