Historic Building Restoration
An Award-winning Project in pictures
The Cob House is a 300-year-old Grade 2 listed converted block of stables, originally serving as the stable block to Steanbridge House in Slad, nestled in the picturesque Cotswolds.
This project was approached as a conservation endeavour, with the client’s primary focus being the preservation of the building’s character while bringing it up to contemporary standards fit for the 21st century.
All these products are green, environment friendly and Carbon Zero solutions
– The Lime Cycle
Traditional plasters used in construction, are produced in several steps. The process starts with firing limestone in large kilns, at 850-900 C temperatures, and as a result, limestone turns into a powder: quicklime. If you gradually add water to quicklime, it’s transforming into the soft and white lime putty, while exerting strong heat and steam.
At this point sand and water is added and by adding certain other ingredients a master builder can create specialised lime mixes depending on the requirements of how the plaster should perform.
These are the so called Aerial Lime mixes, because they set in contact with air.
This traditional lime production process is a Zero Carbon solution, because in the final, setting phase the paste absorbs as much CO2 as it emanated, at the 1st stage (when limestone was burnt to turn it into quicklime powder.)
