We want to share with you why lime is a superior choice for your home or business, combining ancestral wisdom with contemporary architecture.

Frequently asked questions about natural  Lime 100% Eco

Everything you need to know about the benefits of natural lime. Here we answer the most common questions so you can understand why it's the best option for your spaces.

How do lime mortars and cements mortar react to the passage of time and to water? What are they made of?

Cementitious mortars are rigid and watertight, and their capillary action is limited.

Their manufacture increases CO2 emissions. They are made with synthetic polymers, plasticizers, and resins to achieve adhesion, because cement alone does not adhere. They also contain setting accelerators based on chemical chlorides or nitrates, fly ash, blast furnace slag, silica fumes that eliminate breathability, and hexavalent chromium, which causes dermatitis and allergies.

Lime mortars are made by firing pure carbonated limestone with firewood.

They are highly flexible, breathable, and, according to a 2023 study published by MIT, have a "life of their own." In ancient times, mixing mortars with hot lime caused the lime clasts to self-repair. If humidity, the general climate, or structural movement causes a crack, the lime mortar itself recrystallizes, naturally sealing the fissure.

What are the main benefits of using lime instead of other things to paint or coat a wall?

Conventional paints, such as water-based plastic paints, emit volatile elements continuously and for life. These gases affect air quality. 100% ecological & natural lime materials emit zero gases and, moreover, absorb ambient CO2, decongesting the air of harmful particles. Compared to cementitious materials, these have limited capillary action, which causes a very localized concentration of moisture, leading to structural problems, mold growth, and bacterial proliferation, which can trigger asthma. Lime, on the other hand, has virtually unlimited capillary action and distributes moisture throughout the entire surface, making it highly breathable. It has been demonstrated in bioconstruction that children with asthma have experienced significant improvements in their health.

Are there any common problems in homes, such as dampness or allergies, that lime helps to improve or eliminate

Natural lime, 100% ecologic, purifies the air thanks to its alkalinity and pH of 12.4, naturally eliminating dust mites, spores, and bacteria. For allergy and asthma sufferers, this means breathing air free of irritating organic particles. It is the only element in nature and on the construction market capable of providing active prevention. It is a permanent mineral disinfectant that protects the health and integrity of the building from the moment of application.

When a house has lime on its walls, what does the atmosphere feel like inside?

Upon entering a home or space finished with 100% ecologic & natural lime, the feeling is overwhelmingly positive and incredibly comfortable. There is an absence of unpleasant odors and thermal sensations, both hot and cold. 100% organic natural lime transforms spaces into havens of genuine well-being.
