5 Reasons why our volumetric batch mixer lorries are incredible!

Posted on by Sarah Cordes

1. We have 2! sally Scania and Ronnie Renault. They are driven by our amazing and experienced drivers Richard and Peter.

2. They mix the correct ratios of lime and aggregate – no person forgetting how many buckets of material they have loaded in!

3. Limecrete ingredients are forced through an auger to combine them – this stops the lime balling together as can happen in a conventional drum mixer, reducing mixing time and ensuring consistency.

4. We travel all over Great Britain mixing limecrete for our team to lay or for others who are laying it themselves!

5. Reduced waste and mess on site – as the lorries mix as they go, there is no need to over order.

10 Magic Ingredients to building a Limecrete Floor 🌟

Posted on by Sarah Cordes

RFG – This creates a load bearing substrate. It insulates and forms a capillary break. It is also a sustainable material made of a waste product.

Geotextile Membrane – This separates the substrate and limecrete from the insulation layer.

Aggregate – Depending on the requirement this would generally be a sharp sand or 0-15mm pumice.

Geogrid – When using UFH this provides a grid for the pipework to be attached to.

Fibres – 6mm polypropylene fibres help to increase the strength of the limecrete and decrease cracking.

Cork or Foam Edge – This essential detail separates the wall from the limecrete, ensuring no thermal bridge and that both have their own independent moisture vapour transfer.

Water – As the lime we use is NHL5, the addition of water initiates the hydraulic set. Limecrete is ready for light footfall after 72 hours.

Lime – We use NHL5, the strongest of the natural hydraulic limes, which ensures the strength that is required for ground bearing slab is created.

Volumetric mixer – Mixes Limecrete with consistency, speed and efficiency.

Our fantastic team 💖 – Hardworking, passionate and highly regarded!
