Description
Limelite Renovating Plaster has been developed specifically for use in renovation projects. It offers many of the advantages of a traditional lime plaster but with easier workability and far quicker drying times.
Breathable
Conventional gypsum plaster is hygroscopic, meaning that moisture from the atmosphere or substrate is absorbed and retained. Limelite Renovating Plaster is breathable, allowing moisture to be released.
Reduces mould growth
Improved breathability and less retained moisture helps to avoid mould growth and efflorescence. Lime is naturally aseptic and inhibits the growth of bacteria and mould.
Versatile
Can be used on a wide range of traditional substrates such as solid brick and stone walls, wooden lath. It can also be used on walls that have previously suffered from damp or flooding.
Quick drying
A quick drying renovating plaster, it dries quickly. Additional plaster coats or paint to be applied in just 24 hours. This allows faster completion and less disruption.
Reduced shrinkage
Incorporates polypropylene fibres to control shrinkage, avoid cracking and improve the flexural strength and impact resistance of the finish.
Uses:
Limelite Renovating Plaster can be used to replace existing lime based plaster or as part of a new plaster system in both modern and traditional buildings and is an ideal solution for flood damage repair or flood damage prevention.
Features:
- Breathable – can be applied directly to damp walls and substrates
- Prevents corrosion of metal fixtures, such as angle beads and lath
- Provides a barrier to salt and efflorescence
- Lightweight – less than half the weight of a sand and cement plaster
- Insulating
- Fibre reinforced
- Reduces condensation
- Rapid drying – 24 hours per coat
- Lime content makes the product naturally aseptic, preventing mould growth
