Ty-Mawr Sublime® Insulated Limecrete Floor - Installation Guide
Ty Mawr’s Sublime® is an Insulated Limecrete Flooring System originally designed for solid wall construction but is equally appropriate for new builds and extensions.
“15% of heat loss in old buildings is through the floor!”
It comprises of two primary layers - the Glapor SG600 Recycled Foamed Glass (RFG) Insulating Gravel layer and the Limecrete Slab.
The Glapor SG600 RFG product is a high-performance gravel made from 100% recycled glass; it’s exceptional qualities enable it to act as the hardcore and construction layer, whilst providing moisture management (with a known wicking break and non-capillary draw) and insulation.
The Limecrete Slab is made from a blend of natural hydraulic lime and recycled aggregates, and can be used as an alternative to concrete in certain applications including as a breathable floor slab in old, solid wall buildings or as part of an insulated foundation system (Sylfaen). It is therefore suitable for use in older/traditional buildings as well as more sustainable new builds.

Is the limecrete/glapor strong enough to support the column of a wooden spiral staircase or would you need to put in a concrete foundation?

did you get an answer for this. I would also like to know
That mix out of the mixer looks very wet compared to cement screeds Ive laid ,could it be drier than than that?
1. How thick did you lay the limecrete? Looked like 10 - 15 cm? 2. Was it NHL 5 you used? 3. What sort of aggregate did you use?
What grade was the aggregate used e.g 10mm?
Could effofescence still get through if putting brick pavers back?
