Hi Simmonz, this seems like a good moment to introduce myself.Has anyone used warmcote and limecote from Best Of Lime? What do you think of it?
Hi Nick, that’s a difficult one. If you want a breathable floor system, you need to remove the cement. Limecrete floors are commonly used, they can be installed with insulation and with UFH systems. Track down Myles Yallop at The Limecrete Company near Norwich.Hi Martin is there a self leveller on the mark of which is lime and cement based . Cheers nick
Thank you Joe, very kind, glad you liked themHave used both products from best of lime, the limecote & warmcote. highly recommend both products great stuff to use and as no over lime will offer a thermal value such as the warmcote great service and great stuff. Joe

I think your customer is being a bit unreasonable, you’d generally only use lime because you want a breathable system, but breathability equals moisture movement and that sounds like a bad idea in a cellar with a carpet. If you’ve really no option, then try NHL5, with a fine sand about 1:2, not ideal though and won’t easily flow. Better still, see what Ardex have on their site and try to talk some sense into the customer.Can’t remove anything on floor I’ve paved it . The floor is in a cellar of which then to have carpet over.

Thanks for your advice Martin I used Ardex years ago under door casings .I think your customer is being a bit unreasonable, you’d generally only use lime because you want a breathable system, but breathability equals moisture movement and that sounds like a bad idea in a cellar with a carpet.

Using it at the moment on a living room restoration over flint and brick. Just completed the scratch coat using the warmcote and it's incredible how thick you can put it on. Four inches in one hit no problem whatsoever. Easy to shape and very light weight. Limecote skim in a couple of days and I am expecting it to go just as well. It's expensive though but definitely time saving.Has anyone used warmcote and limecote from Best Of Lime? What do you think of it?
