Hempire Materials: Application of Hemp and Lime Plaster

Ireland:

Brendan Kelly is the plasterer in this video. Brendan Kelly's lime plastering has previously been featured on the RTE program, "About the House" (http://www.rte.ie/tv/aboutthehouse/).

This is Brendan's description of the work:

I did a small job for a couple near Kinvara, Co. Galway, Ireland. They had blocked up a door in their house.

While this is a very small job, the video demonstrates very well how easy the application of the Hempire plaster is.

The door was blocked up using Heraklyte shredded wood boards. Because these boards need to breath, a lime render was necessary. Hempire lime/hemp ecoplaster was used for several reasons:
a) as can be seen from the video, it is relatively simple to apply by "spraying" using an air compressor, and a high quality finish can be obtained relatively easily
b) it has improved water-proofing properties (over sand/cement renders)
c) it has a high thermal insulative properties (I have worked on several houses where they used this product solely for it's insulative properties)

"Hempire Building Plaster is a unique ready mixed plaster made from the chopped stem of the industrial hemp plant and reacted with lime and pozzolan in a novel process"

"Hempire Skim Plaster is a unique ready to use plaster made from finely classified stem of the hemp plant and reacted with lime and pozzolan in a novel process.It has been specifically designed to float over Hempire Building Plaster to give a perfectly smooth finish. Hempire Skim can also be applied on other substrates."
