Benefits of Lime Products

Lime Products are well established materials in the construction world and for good reason. The material offers a plethora of advantages that can elevate your project. A primary reason for Limes likeability is its sustainable essence. Derived from limestone and chalk, lime stands as an eco-friendly choice that significantly reduces the unnecessary environmental footprint of construction. 

Remarkable versatility is one of limes stand out features. From historic restoration to contemporary construction and DIY projects, Lime products prove their adaptability time and time again, making them a reliable choice for a wide range of applications.

Durability is a foundation aspect of lime products' appeal. The mortar has stood the test of time, being used for over 6000 years. Additionally, lime plasters contribute to the energy-efficiency of a building. They regulate the temperatures effectively, keeping interiors comfortable year-round while minimising energy consumption.

Breathability within buildings is important to avoid the growth of mould and mildew. Lime fosters this, having great vapour permeability meaning it allows liquids or gases to pass through. This reduces moisture build up contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

Lastly, lime holds a rich historical significance in architecture, making it a favoured choice for restoring and preserving historic structures.Embrace the enduring appeal and sustainability of lime products for your next construction project, and experience the versatile and long-lasting benefits they bring to the table.
