Mineralputze

Mineralputze are a type of wall finish made primarily from mineral components. They are commonly used on both interior and exterior walls. The key ingredients typically include lime, cement, and sand, though other minerals and additives can be incorporated to achieve specific properties.

These plasters are known for their breathability, allowing moisture vapor to pass through the wall, which helps to regulate indoor humidity and prevent condensation. This makes them a suitable choice for historic buildings or those where moisture management is a concern. Mineralputze are also generally considered durable and resistant to weathering, making them a long-lasting option for exterior applications.

The application process for mineralputze is similar to other types of plaster, involving mixing the dry components with water and then applying them to the substrate using trowels. They can be left in their natural color or tinted with mineral pigments. The final texture can vary widely, from smooth finishes to more textured or decorative effects, depending on the application technique and the aggregate used. Mineralputze are often favored for their natural aesthetic and their contribution to a healthy indoor environment. They are also considered environmentally friendly due to their mineral composition and low VOC (volatile organic compound) content.
