Sublime® Insulated Limecrete Floor
 |
|
Ty Mawr’s Sublime® is an Insulated Limecrete Flooring System originally designed for solid wall construction but is equally appropriate for new builds and extensions. “15% of heat loss in old buildings is through the floor!” It comprises of two primary layers – the Glapor SG600 Recycled Foamed Glass (RFG) Insulating Gravel layer and the Limecrete Slab. The Glapor SG600 RFG product is a high-performance gravel made from 100% recycled glass; it’s exceptional qualities enable it to act as the hardcore and construction layer, whilst providing moisture management (with a known wicking break and non-capillary draw) and insulation. The Limecrete Slab is made from a blend of natural hydraulic lime and recycled aggregates and can be used as an alternative to concrete in certain applications including as a breathable floor slab in old, solid wall buildings or as part of an insulated foundation system (Sylfaen). It is, therefore, suitable for use in older/traditional buildings as well as more sustainable new builds. It provides the main load-bearing element of the floor as well as providing thermal mass, it has good insulating properties, reduced carbon costs compared to other floor slab materials, zero harmful off-gassing and is breathable and lightweight. “…we had to find a method of controlling the relative humidity levels within the building so that both the historic and new oak, timber work would not be adversely affected. The use of a controllable under-floor heating system combined with an insulated limecrete floor… was seen as an ideal way of minimising such problems, enabling the building to dry out gently and naturally, whilst moderating the internal environment for staff and visitors.” EXTRACT FROM HERITAGE MAGAZINE BY DR GERALLT NASH, CURATOR, NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WALES, ST FAGANS.
