Eden Lime Insulation
Eden Lime Insulation was developed whilst looking at the insulation of an Eighteenth century house. It had little insulation, big problems with condensation and the owner was reluctant to tank it, seal it or inject it all of which would make it non breathable. The aim therefore was to insulate the property with a breathable material.
Eden Lime looked at the products on the market at the time and it was felt that non of these matched the requirements of a fully breathable insulation material. Over a period of months Eden Lime undertook their own in house trials and product development to come up with a new solution. The final insulation product was sent as a test sample to The National Physical Laboratory in December 2010 for a thermal conductivity test. The results of these tests can be seen in the following report > (PDF download)
This in practice would mean for example to achieve a U value of 1.19 that on a 500mm sandstone wall it would require 50mm of Eden Lime Insulation.
Having achieved these satisfactory results with a breathable product Eden Lime Insulation has now been used on the C18th house and a number of other properties.
Eden Lime Insulation is to be mixed onsite and applied in layers directly onto the internal stone walls. The character of the walls can this way be kept by plastering with the contours of the wall. The layers can then be built up to what ever U value is required.
