Natural. Breathable. Healthy.
Mas Maya Coating is a lime-based plaster, free of toxins and VOCs. It maintains optimum humidity levels which helps prevents damp and mould.
Versatile & easy to install
Our coating can be applied directly onto almost any material including old tiles, wood, paint, furniture and plastic.
It's also water resistant, making it ideal for use in bathrooms, kitchens and swimming pools.
Durable yet flexible
As strong and durable as other mineral-based materials such as tadelakt, limestone and chukum, Mas Maya has the edge in terms of flexibility.
The plant fibres in the coating provide elasticity that prevent cracking - a common problem with other natural coatings.

Ancient Maya masons had a smart way to make plaster stronger. Up close, the Mayas' timeless recipe from Copán looks similar to mother-of-pearl.
University of Granada
Scientists from the University of Granada (UGR) have managed to reveal the secret of the ancient Mayan builders, who produced lime mortars and stuccos of extraordinary durability, which have survived to this day in an excellent state of conservation: lime mortars made with plant extractors. Their work, which is in collaboration with Harvard University, is published today in the scientific journal Science Advances, one of the most prestigious in the world.

Ancient Maya produced some of the most durable lime plasters on Earth, yet how this was achieved remains a secret. Here, we show that ancient Maya plasters from Copan (Honduras) include organics and have a calcite cement with meso-to-nanostructural features matching those of calcite biominerals (e.g., shells).

A team of mineralogists and geologists at the University of Granada has discovered the secret behind the durability of ancient Maya plaster. In their study, reported inScience Advances, the group studied samples of the ancient plaster and consulted with descendants of Mayans to learn more about how the ancient plaster was made.
