Lime render or NHL continues to increase in popularity particularly in more rural areas. Not only does it suit older properties as it is in keeping with the surroundings but it also has environmental benefits.

……………………….

As it is a naturally occurring susbstance it is quicker and easier to produce than a cement render mix and therefore has a lower carbon footprint. It also tends to be lighter in weight and so can be transported using less fuel than other manufactured renders. Finally, it cures or sets by oxidation so lime render actually takes carbon out of the atmosphere and this reduces its footprint even further.

…………………………..

So, as well as allowing your property to breathe and to be kept dry without the render cracking, Natural Hydraulic Lime is also far friendlier to the environment than other coating materials such as cement based renders.

Natural hydraulic lime renders and mortars have been around for over 2000 years and offer fantastic protection for exposed properties against the varied British climate. As well as being aesthetically pleasing and carbon efficient they offer a lot of important advantages over hard cement based renders and mortars:

1. They are highly breathable and allow moisture to escape from a building unlike waterproof cement renders

2. They keep the property dry

3. They are softer than cement renders and therefore highly crack resistant
