For every memory you make in your home, there is another that came before you. The history of our homes, seen or unseen, shapes how we live in them. A scratch in the wall, a missing corner, every little bit of wear and tear is part of the personality of the house.
Plaster walls represent the history of our homes. Plaster is applied with love and care and withstands the test of time. It is how older homes were built, how they were crafted. The strength of plaster shows us how many memories it holds.
Before Drywall
In a day before drywall came to be, plaster was the only choice for finishing a wall. It required care and attention to apply, and if your home was built before the 1950s, odds are you have plaster walls.
Those plaster walls are full of history. The trials and tribulations of time before are hidden in those plaster walls. Plaster is known for dampening sound, saving energy, and can be molded to fit anywhere. This makes it an ideal material to maintain in your home, not just for the history but also for the benefits.
A History of Luxury
These days one might be tempted to think that plaster walls are for luxurious homes. Plaster can be molded and shaped into interesting designs or fancy shapes, but this does not make it the exclusive domain of wealth.
Once upon a time, plaster was a standard material in smaller homes as well as large. There were not many other options at the time, so the application of plaster to a wood or metal lath was universal. Different forms of plaster took shape and might be seen in different sizes of homes, but the material was universal all the same.
Today, this means that you should not shy away from plaster as a luxury material. Plaster provides a number of significant benefits, and it will stand the test of time.
