The features of lime. Common lime is perfectly adapted to both the restoration of ancient buildings and to the construction of new buildings. It is environmentally safe, aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting, blending effortlessly with many architectural styles.
The benefits of lime. The use of common lime in building has many advantages; flexibility and adaptability to a wide variety of construction materials, porosity that allows the walls to “breathe”, good thermal and phonic insulation coefficients, and the ability to be easily removed without affecting the remainder of the building.
How do we work? Manu Décor works in constant consultation with you, the client, sharing our knowledge of the environmental properies of lime and as to how it can be best used on your building.
Where do we work? Manu Décor has worked in Languedoc Roussillon and in the Alps (the geographical location is not a prohibitive factor) on renovations of traditional facia and rendering of new buildings from 50 to 800 square meters, on contemporary projects such as new stone walls or stone floor coverings, on exterior and interior decoration.
Since when and why? Manu Décor has been fascinated since 1995 by the incomparable qualities of common lime and its use in heritage buildings and construction. Our expert craftsmanship transforms basic limestone into a plethora of beautiful finishes, as if by magic.
Manu Décor is proud to present the art of lime plasterwork and rendering, a technique used successfully by our ancestors for centuries. Nowadays it is even more relevant; for its beauty, its respect for the environment and its adaptability.
