Interior Clay Finish Chosen for National Green Building Award Clayote, a 100% natural earth plaster veneer made of pure clays, aggregates and pigments, was chosen as the Outstanding Green Product by those attending last week’s Green Building Conference in Austin. Winning a National Green Building Award, the product is manufactured by American Clay Enterprises, LLC, which is located in Santa Fe. “Clay naturally controls climate by regulating arid and humid air, absorbing and releasing moisture in response to environmental changes,” says the manufacturer. “Warm to the touch in the winter and surprisingly cool in summer, Clayote creates a wall surface that is inviting to the senses.” Clayote can be applied over raw or painted drywall after priming; on bathroom surfaces that are not in direct contact with water; on ceilings; over straw bale walls that are coated with earth plaster, gypsum plaster or cement stucco; and over scraped adobe walls. |
