Hi guys,
I’m renovating a solid brick property built by my great great grandfather, I’ve had the external walls rendered in lime, and I did plan on doing the internal walls in lime but I’m getting cold feet.
Basically I’m very worried about the possible finish I can get from the lime. I like the straight square flat look of modern gypsum plaster and I’m not sure I can get that with lime?!
I have thought about battening out the external walls and fitting insulation board to provide a small cavity just in case? Then sand and cementing the rest.
Also thought about sand and cement everything but then I’m worried about the lime on the outside wicking through slightly and messing the plaster up, but due to my inexperience I have no idea if this will affect it or not?
Can anyone give me an idea of what I could expect with the options I’ve listed or even give me better options given that I have lime render on the outside?
So many conflicting advice online, lime lovers want to spit on s&c and some just say tank everything lol I just don’t know what to do
