What Is Lime Render?
Lime render is a traditional building material made from lime, sand, water and other additives.
Its vapour permeability makes it especially suitable for heritage properties without cavity wall insulation, reducing condensation risks and improving internal conditions.
Unlike cement-based renders, lime render cures through a process called carbonation, where it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. This makes it not only more environmentally friendly but also more compatible with older, solid-wall constructions.
What Is Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL)?
There are two main types of lime used in render:
- Hydraulic Lime: Sets through a reaction with water and is ideal for external and exposed surfaces.
- Non-Hydraulic Lime: Cures slowly through air exposure and is often used for internal or delicate heritage applications.
ecorend’s LMR1 System utilises hydraulic lime to deliver strength, breathability, and weather resistance in one high-performance coat.
Who Should Use Lime Render?
Whether you’re working on a Georgian terrace, a countryside cottage, or a sustainable new build, lime render has a place in your specification.
The LMR1 system is engineered specifically for:
- Heritage restorations and listed properties
- Traditional masonry and solid-wall substrates
- Low-carbon and eco-conscious developments
- Architect-led projects focused on performance and aesthetics
