Sustainability Meets Timeless Craftsmanship: Eden Hot Lime Training Course

As Conservation Architects, Haigh proudly embraces the use of lime — a material synonymous with heritage, craftsmanship, sustainability and healthier living spaces. This age-old technique of plastering and rendering transforms not just homes but lifestyles. Our recent office training day on Eden Hot Lime's Lime Mortar Training Course reinforced its position as a cornerstone of refined, conservation architecture.

Breathability and Balance Lime offers unparalleled vapour permeability (commonly termed breathability), offering not only aesthetic appeal but also functional advantages. Unlike gypsum and cement-based mortars, which trap moisture, lime enables water vapor to pass through, ensuring walls and floors remain dry and resilient. This regulates humidity, creating stable indoor conditions while minimising the risk of condensation. By allowing walls to breathe, lime render prevents the damp, stagnant conditions that foster mould, ensuring a healthier living space.

Sustainability Meets Distinction Beyond functionality, lime render exemplifies ecological responsibility. Its production avoids the energy-intensive methods of cement, resulting in a significantly lower carbon footprint, absorbing CO₂ over its lifespan. Derived naturally from limestone, it is free from synthetic additives and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring a toxin-free and healthier living environment. This natural authenticity resonates with those who value sustainable luxury and timeless design.

Craftsmanship for the Future Lime is more than a material—it’s an investment in architectural history and sustainability. The Eden Hot Lime course exemplified this ethos, offering hands-on insights into achieving this elegant and durable finish.
