Limecrete benefits and details:
- Breathable Material: Limecrete’s unique composition allows moisture to permeate, preventing damp and promoting a healthier living environment.
- Eco-Friendly: Made with natural hydraulic lime and lightweight aggregates, it's free from cement ensuring maximum breathability and minimal environmental impact.
- Enhanced Durability: Reinforced with fibres, Limecrete Floors provide additional strength and longevity, making them a reliable choice for any setting.
- Versatile Design: Whether you’re laying a slab and screed floor or opting for a slabless design, Limecrete adapts to your project needs, offering cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality:
- Slabless Floor: Cost-effective and shallow, it's the go-to choice. RFG insulation + limecrete screed = simplicity.
- Slab and Screed: Ideal for large projects with additional work planned after installation. Think churches/cathedrals.
- Under-Floor Heating Compatible: The insulative properties of Limecrete make it an excellent companion for under-floor heating systems, ensuring efficient heat distribution and cosy interiors.
- Moisture Management: With a base of non-capillary material, Limecrete Floors effectively manage ground moisture, keeping your space dry and comfortable.
Applications:
- Heritage buildings
- Residential homes
- Commercial spaces
- Renovation projects

The installation is very straightforward, an example specification would be as below:
- Floor finish
- 100mm lime screed (2.5:1 by volume, sharp sand:NHL5)
- Underfloor heating (UFH) if required embedded within screed
- Geogrid for attaching UFH pipes if required
- Geotextile membrane
- 200mm compacted foam glass
- Firm sub-soil
Based on a floor area of 50m² with an exposed perimeter of 28.5m = U value 0.25 W/(m²K)
It can be complicated working out volumes and U-values for your floor, so just tell us what you need and we will work it out for you.
