It is not advisable to pump the limecrete as in order to do this you would have to make the mix too wet, and this would cause shrinkage…also, the water content of the Limecrete mix has a major effect on final strength. It should never be mixed so weak that it will flow. An ideal mix will b......
The minimum overall depth of the Sublime floor system is 250mm, built up from 150mm Glapor and 100mm Limecrete....
Yes, our sublime® system is specifically designed for use with underfloor heating. ...
Using the thermal conductivities of the floor components we can calculate the depth of insulation required to achieve a specific U-value (what is a U-value), the Glapor insulation layer has excellent thermal performance with a thermal conductivity (lambda - λ) of 0.083 W/mK and the limecre......
Natural hydraulic limes set by a combination of an initial chemical reaction (hydraulic set) followed by a slower carbonation process (absorption of CO2). Factors such as temperature and humidity will affect both of these processes. In ideal conditions, the slab will harden sufficiently to allow ......
Yes, it is fine to build stud walls or lightweight block work on top of your floor. For any load-bearing walls, you need to check their loadings. Many can be built on limecrete otherwise we suggest that these are built first on separate footings and the floor laid around them. If you know the com......
It must be appreciated that the floor system is not designed to overcome groundwater problems. Any likelihood of flooding of the sub-base by rising groundwater must be completely resolved before attempting to install the floor system. This is of course also the case for conventional concrete/DPM ......
