Garrison Venetian Plaster & Tadelakt — FAQs

Are your plaster finishes suitable for Garrison's older stone homes?

Stone homes in the Hudson Highlands often have irregular, thick walls with lime mortar joints that make them ideal candidates for lime-based plaster. Our finishes bond naturally with stone and lime substrates and breathe with the structure, which is essential in older masonry buildings where trapped moisture can cause deterioration. We assess each property's walls before recommending the best approach.

Can Tadelakt work in a remote Garrison property without conventional plumbing?

Tadelakt is a low-technology, hand-applied system that doesn't require specialized equipment beyond skilled craftsmanship. It's well-suited to rustic or off-grid properties because it relies on natural lime and olive oil soap rather than chemical sealers or power tools. We bring everything needed to your Garrison site.

How do lime plasters handle the temperature extremes of the Hudson Highlands?

Garrison experiences significant seasonal temperature swings, from humid summers to freezing winters. Lime-based plasters are naturally flexible and vapor-permeable, which allows them to expand and contract with temperature changes and release moisture rather than cracking. This makes them more durable than rigid synthetic finishes in the Highlands climate.
