We can supply and install a Limecrete floor for Your property.
A Limecrete Floor is a slab consisting of aggregate combined with NHL5 (Lime used as the binder instead of Cement) and poured onto a compacted layer of Recycled Foam Glass Aggregate (RFG). It is a Fully LABC approved system.
The RFG is made from recycled superheated Glass. The process creates an aggregate which resembles standard Hardcore in both appearance and structural use. The products resists capillary action, provides insulation and is extremely lightweight. It also recycles material rather than freshly quarrying stone.
Limecrete Floors reduce the amount of ‘digging out’ required versus other common flooring systems. Since there is a reduction in the number and depth of layers when re-instating the floor. This is especially useful where shallow foundations are involved.
RFG provides a capillary break helping to eliminate damp. The outer ‘skin’ of each granule is impervious to moisture which prevents capillary action from the ground. This replaces the need for a DPM, isolates the slab and is acknowledged to prevent damp being forced to the perimeter walls.
RFG provides Insulation. Air bubbles trapped within each granule provide insulation for the floor and is compatible with UFH. Perimeter Insulation around the slab prevents cold bridging and allows for expansion.
