Living Green Homes

Living Green Homes creates healthier homes using Shikkui, a sustainable and regenerative, Japanese building material that actively creates a healthier living environment.

What is Shikkui?

Shikkui is an all-natural lime plaster that actively improves indoor air quality.

It is made from slaked lime of high calcium purity, pure white marble, eggshells, and seaweed extracts that rid the air of VOCs and unwanted odours. Shikkui is used as a building material for interior and exterior walls or on a smaller scale, as air deodorizers for your home or office. Other in-home products made from Shikkui are Limix Shikkui Marble Tiles, ShikkuiCUBE, and EcoPo. Used in Japan for 5 millenia, it is strong, versatile, and beautiful.
