South Mall project
Nothing much to see here I hear you say, but Finbar and the lads at O’Brien Donnellan are doing some job on the South Mall with new Riven Laths, Hotlime backing coats, Lime putty and Plaster of Paris finish and that’s just the flat work. Those dentils are coming along nicely too.
Earthborn Claypaint
Some of our rich natural earth colours in Earthborn Claypaint. We like this blend.
Lime Render & Plaster
Mary Robinson Centre in Ballina, Co. Mayo. Great job done with Lime render and plaster. Cork board insulation, Stoneware Studios repair mortars, Earthborn Breathable paints inside and out. Cast Iron rainwater goods and you name it this has it. Well done Mayo Co Co for a great job and Brian and all at LPB.
Insulating Plaster
Otterbein Calcea Insulating Plaster supplied by Stoneware Studios being applied by the men of Kenneth Sisk Plastering in Cork City. Easy to apply, no biodegradation, NHL with perlite (natural forming volcanic glass used for a long time for drainage and aeration) and with v good thermal performance we like this product. Thermal conductivity 0.083 W/(m-k) giving a uvalue on an un-rendered 500mm stone wall of 0.84694 W/m2K for 50mm thick or 0.5705 W/m2K for 100mm thick which is up there with the best.
Lime project
Bolands Mills, Dublin complete with lime supplied by Stoneware Studios. Another excellent job and a credit to Shane, Chris and all at Nolans.
Earthborn Silicate paint
Our Earthborn Silicate paint in Buttermilk. Hardwearing and beautiful breathable paint.
Lime pointing & Limestone repair
Scoffold dropped on Corks historic Victoria Hotel site. Lime pointing and Limestone repairs. Nice job Ahern Bros. , Summerhill Construction and Southgate & Associates.
Breathable Paints
Ballynatray House, in one of the most picturesque river settings in the country, looking amazing as ever and glowing with our breathable paint in a warm ochre colour.
Brick repaired and re-pointing
Another iconic building in Cork recently completed. The Courthouse Chambers with many hundreds of bricks repaired, and a complete lime re-point with Secil lime, expertly executed by Kieren & Mike and all the lads at Ahern Bros.
Mould, rot and trapped dampness
So this is what happens when foil-backed PIR insulated plaster board is attached to solid stone walls in Ireland; mould, rot and trapped dampness. Unfortunately it’s all too common. Check out the alternatives at one of our Insulating Old Buildings workshops this summer.
Secil Lime render & Silicate paint
Even with the clouds looming in the background Fota looks impressive with it’s new Secil Lime Render and Silicate Paint. Lovely job by Kenneth Sisk & Summerhill
Claypaint
Two of our Claypaint colours; Daisy Chain and Hippo Hooray. Unusual contrast but we think it works! Earthborn Claypaint has zero voc’s so very healthy and with full breathability, perfect for lime plaster.
