We carried out a large-scale renovation and extension of the Tusla building in Limerick, with a strong focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. Internally, we applied Diathonite insulating plaster — a natural blend of lime, cork, and clay — to insulate the walls. This breathable solution enhances thermal performance while promoting a healthy indoor environment throughout the expanded facility.

We recently completed lime plaster and render restoration on the historic chapel at Mary Immaculate College, Limerick. The work included careful repair of original mouldings, helping preserve the building's character and ensure its long-term protection.

We recently completed modern acrylic plastering for a new residential development built with ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) blocks. The acrylic render provided a durable, weather-resistant finish with a clean, contemporary appearance, perfectly suited to the high-performance insulation system of the ICF structure.
