Been using the 50mm Cornerstone Lime Render System from Cornish Lime recently and it’s easy to see why more people are moving away from cement renders.
The big advantage with lime is that it lets the building breathe properly, which is especially important on older properties. Helps avoid trapping moisture in the walls and can make a huge difference with damp issues over time.
The 50mm system also gives a bit of added thermal performance while still keeping all the breathable qualities you want from a proper lime render.
Another thing we like is how natural the finish looks once it’s on. Doesn’t have that hard, flat look you often get with modern renders — it suits stone and traditional buildings really well.
Good option for:
• Stone cottages• Renovations & heritage work• Solid wall properties• Barn conversions• Anyone wanting a more natural finish
If you’re thinking about rendering an older property properly, it’s definitely worth a look.
