Ty-Mawr Lime Hemp Plaster

hemp lime plaster

Lime Hemp Plaster

Ty-Mawr Lime Hemp Plaster is made from a high calcium lime (also known as a fat/air/putty Lime or non-hydraulic lime) blended with the hemp fibres and a pozzolan to aid the set.

The Ty-Mawr product is entirely made from British materials in our production facility in Wales which is part of our ISO9001:2008 quality management system. 

It requires exposure to Carbon Dioxide in the presence of moisture to harden however, it can be applied in thicker coats than conventional lime plasters making it easier and quicker to use.

Like all non-hydraulic lime products, it is extremely flexible and breathable which makes it suitable for use in the restoration of old 'solid wall' construction buildings and ideal as a 'wattle and daub' replacement in timber-framed buildings. It is also suitable in ecological new builds as it can be applied to a variety of substrates e.g. woodfibre boards, wood wool boards, strawbale.

The addition of hemp fibres not only improves the strength and flexibility of the product, it also increases the thermal properties of the plaster and so is an excellent way of adding some insulation to your wall. Please contact us with details of your building so that we can assess the suitability and the likely improvements to performance.

It is available in three grades - coarse, medium and fine and is ready to use in 1 tonne bulk bags, 25 kg bags and 20l buckets.

"We pointed all of the stonework with Coarse Hemp Lime then finished the hemp roughly 10mm from the face of the stone and only used pinnings on the very large voids.  We found that the Hemp was very workable and easy to use so the process was carried out very quickly, this saved on labour and shortened the job significantly.  The Hemp seemed to set incredibly well and allowed us to build out some very thick layers of pointing in one go.  The depth of the Hemp pointing was up to two inches in places and the suction in the background was very high, but there was still no sign of cracking and the initial set was much quicker than expected given the application thickness.  The hemp provided a good background for the render mix as the coarse fibres give a great key to any finish lime plaster coat.  

After 4 days the Hemp had an initial set and so we dubbed out the remaining 5-10mm with render mix and bagged this into the stonework which smoothed out any ledges etc...We managed to finish the entire job in only three days thanks to the Hemp, this cut our labour costs in half and meant that the we could do what is right for the building whilst keeping costs down and fulfilling the clients brief.
 
I think that the Ty Mawr Hemp Lime is the most versatile and labour saving Lime based product on the market which makes the use of lime much more affordable and user friendly for everyone." JM, Herefordshire

tickmade from a natural, renewable plant fibre (instead of depleting a natural aggregate resource).

tickhas greater flexural strength than traditional lime plasters making it extremely durable e.g. it is far more resilient for use on corners, reveal and other vulnerable areas of the building.

tickhas thermal properties and can therefore be used to help improve the insulation performance of the wall.

tickcan assist with the airtightness of old buildings, improving the comfort of the room and offering energy savings.

tickcan be applied in much thicker coats (single coats can be applied between 10-50mm) than traditional lime plaster therefore is especially useful for ‘dubbing out’ hollows in walls prior to further plaster coats.

tickis a successful way of ‘patching’ old lime plasters e.g. where electricians/plumbers have been ‘chasing out’ .

tickis easier to use than conventional lime plaster (minimal shrinkage even on high suction backgrounds) offering labour savings.

tickis breathable and therefore helps to safeguard the functioning and health of the building as well as helping to regulate humidity which makes for a healthier internal environment, this make it ideal for use in older buildings.

tickeasy to use - is supplied ready to use, can be mixed in an ordinary cement mixer, there is no requirement to use mesh or add hair.

tickas it requires fewer coats and less tending, it can make significant labour savings.

tickis beautiful - the coarse/medium plaster gives a soft textured finish otherwise the fine hemp, glaster or ordinary finish plaster can be used for a smoother finish.
