Our services
From walls to ceilings, and from initial advice to final application. Based in Dussen, Daodejing provides meticulous support for ecological and bio-based building projects.
Technical consultancy and supervision
Clay plaster brings tranquillity and warmth to your home while naturally regulating humidity. We provide expert advice and professional application, from base coats to fine finishes.
Base coat clay
Finishing plaster
A silky-smooth top layer that gives walls a vibrant, natural aesthetic—ideal for living areas.
Lime plaster
Moisture-regulating and vapour-permeable, providing a bright finish that allows rooms to breathe. Suitable for wet rooms.
Warmth and comfort
Clay feels warmer to the touch than gypsum and acts as a natural moisture buffer for your indoor climate.
Moisture regulation
Clay absorbs humidity and releases it gradually, maintaining a natural balance within your home.
Vapour-permeable build-up
Every layer is carefully matched to ensure the entire system remains vapour-permeable, preventing moisture issues.
Wall, ceiling and underfloor heating
Wall and ceiling heating are the ideal ways to combine clay plaster and wood fibre insulation into a warm, natural living environment. We guide you from technical build-up to final finish.
Wall heating with clay plaster
Gentle radiant heat that warms you directly, rather than just heating the air.
Ceiling heating with clay plaster
Evenly distributed warmth from above, perfectly integrated into a clay-plastered ceiling.
Wood fibre insulation systems
Vapour-permeable insulation that retains heat while managing moisture levels.
Technical build-up advice
Every system requires a bespoke approach. We advise on the correct layering for optimal performance.
Clay plastering
On-site advice and oversight to ensure every layer remains vapour-permeable for a healthy indoor climate. Daodejing supports you from the first sketch to final delivery.
Substrate assessment
We evaluate whether your walls and ceilings are suitable for clay or lime, and determine which system fits best.
Technical detailing
We translate your design into workable technical details, ensuring every junction is vapour-permeable and airtight.
Supervised execution
On-site, we monitor the correct sequence, layer thicknesses, and drying times for all natural materials.
Contractor collaboration
We work closely with your main contractor or fellow specialists to ensure the project runs smoothly without compromising quality.
Clay and lime plastering
From base clay to fine finishing plasters and bespoke lime work. We ensure a high-quality finish that breathes.
Wall and ceiling heating
We verify the build-up of floors, walls, and ceilings to ensure radiant heat is distributed evenly and efficiently.
Bio-based insulation
Utilising wood fibre, flax, hemp, and sheep's wool for superior insulation. We select breathable, moisture-regulating materials that ensure your home remains warm in winter, cool in summer, and healthy all year round.
Wood fibre insulation
Vapour-permeable boards that retain heat while allowing moisture to pass through. The foundation for a breathable wall.
Flax and hemp
Natural fibres with a low environmental impact. They offer excellent thermal mass and regulate the indoor climate.
Sheep's wool
Absorbs moisture without losing its insulating properties. An excellent choice for bedrooms and quiet spaces.
Moisture control and ventilation
Every vapour-permeable build-up requires proper ventilation. We prevent moisture issues without the need for synthetic foils.
Clay and wood fibre systems
Applying clay over wood fibre adds thermal mass and moisture buffering, creating a comfortable, high-performance wall year-round.
Existing building assessment
We first determine if your current structure is suitable. Sometimes a targeted intervention is more effective than full retrofitted insulation.
