[GSBN] Standards for Lime Render

[martin oehlmann]

Hi John, 
thanks for your approval. Actually this part is just an internet collection, the other part for Syria had been more specific. The only question there is there experiences with gypsum inside. There are critical voices with respect to moisture behaviour and using cement outside on cob seems to be terribly risky.

For lime I found this document www.nationallime.org/IBLS05Papers/Tate_Standard.pdf 
St. Astier has some useful informations and might be of help. http://www.stastier.co.uk/data.htm

Its true there are small producers and there lime is just a bit different, sometimes even much better than St. Astier. Its like with wine ;-)))

Hope this helps,

Best wishes,

Martin

  Trust that all on the list are well.

  We have been asked for standards for lime renders.  This for a large public
  building not built as yet.

  If any of you have any standards for lime render and I am thinking European
  or British would you be good enough to point me in the right direction.

  The call is for water proofing qualities of lime render.

  Any help much appreciated and the cheque is in the mail as always.

  Thanks.

  Kind regards
