in a variety of applications and solve multiple issues at once . To insulate the internal boundary walls and ceilings , we selected Lime Green ’ s Warmshell solution – an internal insulation system , comprising board adhesive , woodfibre boards and a coat of breathable plaster .
Lime Green offered healthy and natural products , which could be used in a variety of applications and solve multiple issues at once .
“ To finish the walls and ceilings , we chose Solo , a one-coat lime plaster . Finally , to protect the bathroom from water damage , we used Silic8 Silguard , a breathable water repellent .
“ Instead of rendering directly onto the woodfibre boards , we used plasterboard between to enhance the building ’ s thermal , fire and noise performance further . The Solo plaster then created an airtight layer on top .
“ One particular brick wall was bowed , so it needed additional support . The Warmshell system , along with some wooden batons , offered that support .
“ The Warmshell system helped us to resolve a variety of issues . It ’ s an internal system , so we could use it to insulate the property from the inside as the external insulation route was not possible due to being located within a Conservation Area . It improved the breathability too and is great at reducing outdoor noise .
“ As the materials in the system are natural , they ring true to how the building was originally designed and constructed .”
THE RESULTS
“ We ’ re delighted with the results . Visually , the lime plaster looks great . It has a traditional off-white colour , which can be difficult to find nowadays . The whole system has created a natural and calm space ,” says Christian .
“ The natural materials in combination with the mechanical ventilation system has created a really clean indoor air quality , which is so important in London especially .
“ The acoustic separation is a benefit too – we can barely hear any outside noise .
“ The thermal performance of the Warmshell system is brilliant . It ’ s great for managing temperature shift , as it holds heat and releases it when temperatures drop overnight , which is exactly how a building should operate .
“ I already have two or three other projects where we ’ re using the Warmshell system and Solo plaster .
“ The Lime Green team is helpful and extremely knowledgeable and very easy to get hold of .
“ I would absolutely recommend Lime Green and its products .”
“ It ’ s been great to work with Christian to develop a sustainable solution for the property ’ s challenges ,” says Simon Ayres , co-founder and managing director , Lime Green Products .
“ We ’ re so pleased the solution has improved the internal environment so drastically , and we ’ re sure it will continue to for years to come .”
