Lime Green Ultra 

About

Lime Green's Ultra lime plaster base coat is a lightweight insulating lime  base coat for plasterin/ rendering  that,Ultra is five to ten times thermally more efficient than other lime plasters and renders. This makes it the perfect plastering and rendering base coat for building renovations, Using an additional insulation layer to internal and external walls aswell as protecting against salt damage.

As an insulating lime plaster/render, Ultra  is such an effective insulator because it contains an aggregate of hollow beads made from recycled glass, which can make up to 55% of its bulk. This replaces the sand conventionally used in which meaning Ultra uses less energy to manufacture and is significantly lighter to transport, so cutting down on distribution costs and energy.

As ultra is applied as a wet plaster/render, it acts as a ‘draught excluder' by plugging any small pores and gaps within the fabric of the wall, something that standard dry-lining cannot do to the same extent.

Ultra lime base coat is applied to walls in the same way as conventional lime plasters/renders. It has good ‘workability' and there are no complicated fixings or problems achieving the right depth of coat. 

Coverage

One bag of Ultra Lime base coat will cover approx. 1.5m² at 10mm thick. This does not include any allowance for wastage.

Prepare the surface before application. Remove dust, surface contaminants and loose or friable coatings. Apply fungicide if necessary. On dense impervious backgrounds apply Lime green Natural Stipple for improved bond.

Ultra Lime base coat can be mixed using a drum mixer, or in a tub using a plasterers paddle mixer. Spray render machines may also be suitable Always mix with clean water; do not add anything else.

Mixing

Add approximately 4-4.5 litres. Mix for 5 to 10 minutes.

Temperatures: above 5°C and below 30°C.

Application

Apply a coat of Ultra Lime basecoat between 10 to 30 mm thick directly to dampened substrate. Each coat must be scratched while wet to give a good mechanical key before further coats are applied. If the substrate is very dry, dampen down the surface thoroughly prior to coating.

Use Lime Green Solo as the finish coat for internal use 2 to 7 days afterwards; once the coat has stiffened / hardened, but is still “green

Use Natural Finish as the finish coat for extrenal use which can also be pre coloured Coloured Natural Finish
