Project Description
Building sustainably frequently refers to more than simply environmentally and energy-conscious design; it also encompasses a wide range of other factors. For the luxury apartment building, particular consideration is given to environmentally friendly building materials.
Lime plaster is permeable, in contrast to the modern cement plaster used in the majority of structures today. Due to its remarkable capillary qualities, it not only permits moisture to exit and evaporate from the structure but also successfully sucks moisture out of the structure.
Our luxury apartment building's use of hydrated lime makes it easier to tolerate little motions brought on by things like thermal expansion and contraction. A hard, brittle product may become severely cracked or "de-bond" from the substrate as a result of these movements, frequently causing damage to the substrate as well. Hydrated lime is added to the mixture to facilitate the slow "micro-cracking" of the material, which leads to crack formation. These microcracks mend themselves naturally through the diffusion of hydrated lime into the minute fissures, which then hardens by interacting with ambient carbon dioxide to produce calcium carbonate (limestone).
