Clay is one of the earliest used building materials but is now recognised as being thoroughly modern with outstanding natural, mechanical and chemical properties. It is both tough and fireproof and it allows the building surfaces to breathe.

Clay surfaces are cool in summer and warm in winter. Clay absorbs and diffuses water vapour and can help to control odours.

Clay is suitable for many uses, from high comfort, low energy modern buildings, to the refurbishment of older structures. The versatility, flexibility, ease of application and cost-effectiveness of clay makes them a practical alternative to gypsum and lime based plasters.

Stoneware Studios supply two types of Clay, Tierrafino Clayplaster and the clay based, Tierrafino Stone(Tadelakt), a shiny water-proof decorative application.
