Lime and Silicate Renders & Plasters

Pre-mixed lime and silicate renders available in a range of colours and textures, giving exceptional performance and durability. Lime renders are highly breathable and elastic, Silicate renders have low water absorption, which means they will provide a durable finish. They can be used for everything from rammed earth to modern building boards, such as the Steico Protect system.

Based on St Astier limes which are burnt at 900°C, compared to other limes which may be burnt at up to 1200°C, and to cement, which is typically burnt at 1400°C Lime renders use less energy in their manufacture, which leads to lower carbon emissions initially. As it sets, the lime absorbs up to 60 percent of the CO2 used in its manufacture.
