The problem of restoring the facades of historic buildings is very relevant throughout the world. Physical wear and tear of materials and damage to facades are caused by climatic factors and environmental pollution. Romanesque cement is typically used for architectural and decorative elements of facades of stone buildings from the second half of the 19th century to the early 20th century in Europe, particularly in Lviv. Depending on the type of decorative and structural elements, the methods of their manufacture, reinforcement, and placement on the facade differ.

For the protection of walls against salt dampness various plasters and coatings are proposed. The plasters which presented the ability to transport the salt solution from the substrate, assuring the materials durability, are preferable in respect to traditional plasters such as cementplaster. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of natural zeolite additives in the production lime plasters meant for salted walls. This paper addresses the results of investigation of lime plaster with zeolites.
