Lime Green Ultra Lime Plaster Base Coat - 10kg
Lime Green's Ultra lime plaster base coat is a lightweight insulating lime plaster base coat that is five to ten times thermally more efficient than other lime plasters. This makes it the perfect plastering base coat for building renovations, where it gives an additional insulation layer to internal walls and protects against salt damage.
As an insulating lime plaster, Ultra Lime Plaster is an effective insulator because it contains an aggregate of hollow beads made from recycled glass, which can make up to 55% of its bulk. This replaces the sand conventionally used in standard commercial lime plasters, which means Ultra Lime Natural uses less energy to manufacture and is significantly lighter to transport, so cutting down on distribution costs and energy.
Also, because it is applied as a wet plaster, Ultra Lime Plaster acts as a ‘draught excluder' by plugging any small pores and gaps within the fabric of the wall, something that standard dry-lining cannot do to the same extent.
Ultra lime plaster base coat is applied to walls in the same way as conventional lime plasters. It has good ‘workability' and there are no complicated fixings or problems achieving the right depth of coat.
Completely MineralOne of the great advantages of lime plasters is that they are minerals, without containing anything which will dissolve in water or rot, unlike gypsum and polymer plasters. Ultra is over 99.5% mineral once it has set, which also means it has the best possible Fire Classification (Class A1).
Thermal PerformanceUltra is the warmest lime plaster on the market: with no cement and a thermal conductivity of just K=0.11 (lab testing at 0% moisture) or k=0.178 (moisture corrected as per the British Standard), it can be an invisible upgrade to your thermal performance while re-rendering.
Thermal Conductivity (Typical Real World): 0.178 w/mK- 10mm = 8% reduction in heat loss- 20mm = 15% reduction in heat loss- 40mm = 26% reduction in heat loss
