It allows the building to 'breathe' – as lime is porous, it allows for the collection and evaporation of moisture. Portland cement in contrast, an often applied render for stone or brick buildings, traps moisture behind the stonework, which can result in the erosion of the masonry. A lime render may be covered by a lime wash. == References == - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 09 - Plumbing Services/Section 2 - Drainage and Sanitation]] - [[Design/Architectural Design]] - [[Building Construction/Construction & Materials/Building Material/Polymers and Composites]] - [[Building Construction/Area Programming]] - [[Building Services]] - [[Professional Practice/Public & Cultural/Low Cost Construction]] - [[Building Construction/Specifications and Detailing/Architectural Detailing]] - [[Building Services/Building Performance/Acoustics]] - [[Digital Architecture/ePractice]] - [[Professional Practice/Construction Management/Project Management]] == External links == Some explanations on a commercial website
