Fibre reinforcement to plasters – problems associated with natural hair and alternative fibres, natural and synthetic.
Mortar analysis Tom Balch, Rose of Jericho Animal hair has been added to strengthen and reduce shrinkage in lime plasters for centuries.

The first ‘pricking-up’ coat traditionally contains hair reinforcement at a rate of at least 8kgs/m3 (c.4kgs/tonne). Subsequent coats to lathwork and all coats to solid backgrounds normally have hair added at the reduced rate of…
