Welcome to our blog, where we explore the world of lime and its various uses. Lime has been used for construction and building purposes for centuries. Additionally, even today, it continues to be a popular building material in the world of construction. One of the most significant distinctions within the lime category is hydraulic and non-hydraulic lime.
A damp building can cost a considerable amount of time and money to put right. Damp allows mold and fungi to prosper, which is directly linked to respiratory problems and affect asthma sufferers . Old buildings, are most vulnerable to damp, due to being built with porous material such as; cob, stone and rab, which will hold moisture within the walls of the structure.
Natural Hydraulic Lime mortar consists of two building materials, lime and sand. They can be used for a variety of applications for laying brickwork, bedding tiles, rendering and plastering
Limetec lime putty is produced by slaking Quicklime in an excess of water. Our lime putty is mainly used for old buildings, and historic properties where maximum permeability and flexibility is required.
The benefits of using lime to create a vapour open construction are well known for historic solid walled buildings, however its use in modern construction is not so well documented.
Hair or Fibres have traditionally been used as reinforcement in lime renders as a means of improving tensile strength and to reduce shrinkage cracking. Introduced into the mix by teasing the hair into the mix prior to the mortars use. This is a time-consuming job as it involves teasing the hair into the mix as it is mixed. Clumps of hair simply cannot be placed into the mixer as they will remain in the mix as large balls of hair and will not part no matter what type or method of mixing is used.
The use of natural lime mortars and renders has increased considerably in recent years compared to just a couple of decades ago. These simple, basic materials are fundamentally important to the long term survival of historic buildings, yet there are many who still regard their use with suspicion.
Lime has been used for thousands of years and we see many examples of historical buildings and structures which are still standing today. In recent history, with the expansion of the railwayindustry, we saw lime mortar used extensively in the construction of bridges, tunnels and viaducts.
