Not been around here much as have been too busy with the renovation ... and it is perfect weather at just the right time for linseed oil painting hurrah☺

Left over from our limecrete floor are lots of bags of nhl5. We have no use for them so if anypne does have a use then please take them away. We are near Bedford

Gaah, too far North for me otherwise I'd be up there like a shot. Very generous of you though, there should be more of this sort of thing

I'd love to take you up on your offer as we are planning a limecrete floor ourselves in the next few months.

How many bags do you have out of interest?

I'd also be full of limecrete related questions too if that's alright. I'll be doing the work myself so it'll be nice to speak to someone who has recently done the work.

Many thanks.

Damon

Lol! Too far south for me - by about 600 miles!

Hello Damon. I've laid a limecrete floor, it isn't too difficult, just a lot of graft. Feel free to ask questions. I bought my stuff from Ty Mawr and they provide a spec sheet and instructions which are informative and straightforward.

Great, appreciate the message.

The main question I have is the cost per square metre.
I did send ty mawr an email with my floor plan but they never replied.

If you don't mind me asking what were the raw material costs per square meter in the end? Taking into account the cost of the expanded glass aggregate and membranes.

I have brick laid directly onto earth at the moment so Id like to install the limecrete with underfloor heating into the screed and then relay the original bricks. That way I get to keep the original floor and the lady still can have warm toes!
