How to do Polished Lime Surface finish

Показать описание
Lime is an age old binder which was used as a construction material worldwide before it was replaced by cement in the 1950s. At Aanandaa, we chose to build our #sustainablehouse with lime as the primary binder material along with rammed earth and stone.

In this video series, we are partnering with Malvika Mehta, Founder of MLIME BUILD LLP, on understanding lime as a binder, it's properties, ways to include it in your building, and its pros and cons vis a vis cement.

The closed loop of lime's lifecycle is why it is sustainable, recyclable, low energy and more relevant than ever before. Companies like MLIME, and people like Malvika are helping house builders adopt this material with standardised products, on site training and theoretical know how.

Ok. I understand Stearic acid as fat from the soap . I have been using it for the last few years for the finishing works in a restoration project in Italy. Here we get an olive oil soap with the colour removed. Our marble dust is graded, our lime is aged underwater. In use since Roman times. Thank-you both for concise and practical advise.

I've been waiting for this one! Grateful for the information about polished lime. You've got me Googling for a marble dust alternative.. as it's unavailable in large quantities unless you are a pool builder. I wonder if powderized eggshells have enough calcium carbonate.. or even oyster shell powder.. hmm. Thanks for the gift of learning today🎉

that wil be fantastic to see how excatly the process is done. I'm building my own house in Brazil totally organic and used lime a lot, and would like to know if they is alternatives, other than Tadelakt, which is very labor demanding?

Excellent video. Hope you will make more of these in detail for people who want to construct using lime. May be you should start a learning course. A question.. is calcium stearate or using marble dust to achieve smooth finish considered sustainable, reversible and eco friendly? Just trying to figure out whether it goes well with Mother Nature.

Have excavated polished lime, rammed earth floors at archaeological sites but didn't think it could be done in today's concepts! I'm allergic to chemical paints and this looks like the perfect alternative. Where can I find more information about this technique? Also masons who specialize in it?

Mam, you've really done a very good venture. You are a very good teacher and explainer. I watch all your videos. About this video, I just wander what type of roof can be build for a house which is build using lime as binding material. Can a two story house be build using lime.
