Dating back to our cave dwelling years, man has been building green apparently unknowingly, utilizing just the dirt below his feet to construct and fabricate using earthen plasters.

Today, American Clay is resurrecting these ancient sustainable concepts, originating centuries ago, to produce one of the most healthy and environmentally friendly building materials known at this time.

Together with it’s longevity, durability, recycled content and zero VOC emissions, earthen plasters contain what appear almost magical healing characteristics, by releasing negative ions into the air. Negative ions are believed to increase Serotonin levels, helping alleviate both depression and stress while boosting energy levels. Normal ion count in fresh country air is around 2,000 – 4,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter, at Yosemite it’s over 100,000 negative ions. Sadly, in most homes and working environments it is below 600. Earthen plasters can increase negative ion count 10 – 20 times in an average indoor environment and improve indoor air quality (IAQ) tremendously.

So if you are looking for a non toxic, repairable, moister controlling, non dusting, mold and fade resistant alternative to paint and stucco for your walls and ceilings, you may want to investigate using American Clay. Currently offering a selection of 3 plasters in 43 different tempting shades, as well as colour matching services, it just could be the most healthy choice to gain the texture, warmth and tone you’ve been eager to restore.
