Walk into any heritage building, and you’ll notice walls that have stood strong for generations smooth, cool, and full of character. The secret? Lime and mineral based finishes.
Fast forward to today, and these age-old materials are making a big comeback in modern homes. Yet, many people still hesitate to choose them because of a few myths that just won’t go away.
At ARRCOAT, we’ve seen it all and we’re here to set the record straight.
Myth 1: “Lime is outdated and brittle.”
Reality: Think lime is fragile? Not anymore. Our modern lime finishes are fortified for water resistance and strength so they not only look timeless but also withstand daily wear with ease.
If walls in ancient palaces can survive centuries, imagine what they can do for your home.
Myth 2: “They’re hard to apply.”
Reality: Gone are the days when only master craftsmen could apply lime plasters. With just a week of training, today’s applicators can deliver even the most artistic and seamless finishes.
You get the luxury look without the hassle.
Myth 3: “Only limited textures are possible.”
Reality: If you thought lime meant plain and boring, think again. From Smooth and Travertine to Rugged, Perline, Venetian, and custom creations, your walls can be as subtle or dramatic as you want.
Textures have become a playground for creativity and lime is the star.
Myth 4: “Mineral plasters aren’t sustainable.”
Reality: This one couldn’t be further from the truth. ARRCOAT plasters are:
- 0 VOC – No harmful emissions indoors
- Marble-based & locally sourced – Supporting communities and reducing carbon footprint
- Built to last – Meaning fewer renovations, less waste
It’s not just a finish; it’s a responsible luxury choice for your home.
The Truth?
Lime and mineral based wall products are timeless, breathable, sustainable, and built for modern living.
At ARRCOAT, we combine ancient wisdom with advanced R&D to give you walls that don’t just look stunning they tell a story of durability, beauty, and responsibility.
So the next time you hear someone say lime is “old-fashioned,” just smile and remember: it’s not a step back it’s a step forward in design.
