- Lime is an age old binder which was used as a construction material worldwide before it was replaced by cement in the 1950s. At Aanandaa, we chose to build our #sustainablehouse with lime as the primary binder material along with rammed earth and stone.
In this video series, we are partnering with Malvika Mehta, Founder of MLIME BUILD LLP, on understanding lime as a binder, it's properties, ways to include it in your building, and its pros and cons vis a vis cement.
The closed loop of lime's lifecycle is why it is sustainable, recyclable, low energy and more relevant than ever before. Companies like MLIME, and people like Malvika are helping house builders adopt this material with standardised products, on site training and theoretical know how.

Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Ok. I understand Stearic acid as fat from the soap . I have been using it for the last few years for the finishing works in a restoration project in Italy. Here we get an olive oil soap with the colour removed. Our marble dust is graded , our lime is aged underwater. In use since Roman times. Thank-you both for concise and practical advise.
Thank you for your informative comment!
Great initiative!
I thank you for this.
Nice to be informed about our old environment friendly technology
Thanks 🙏
Really enjoying this series. Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you for sharing the knowledge 🙏
My pleasure
Thank you maam... your vedios are always a new lesson...
Glad you find them useful!
Fantastic, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
@@farmaanandaa I am going to try the lime plaster on the exterior walls
சிறப்பு பயன்யுள்ளள தகவல்கள் நன்றி
You are most welcome!
Exelent
Thank you! Cheers!
Very informative
Glad you think so!
There are so many types of lime.
When you say lime, in europeans countries there is NHL 2 , 3.5, 5 hydraulic lime and also air lime , Quicklime, Hydrated lime etc..
What do you use in India?
You are lucky you have so many grades of lime readily available. It's not so easy here, as cement has really taken over! We used quick lime for foundations (and then hydrated it) and standardised hydrated lime for plasters.
I've been waiting for this one! Grateful for the information about polished lime. You've got me Googling for a marble dust alternative.. as it's unavailable in large quantities unless you are a pool builder. I wonder if powderized eggshells have enough calcium carbonate.. or even oyster shell powder.. hmm. Thanks for the gift of learning today🎉
Glad I could help!
Hello, the lime surface finish is suitable in heavy rain regions? I am from Kerala. We have rain here more than six months. Is it suitable for our climate?
Excellent video. Hope you will make more of these in detail for people who want to construct using lime. May be you should start a learning course. A question.. is calcium stearate or using marble dust to achieve smooth finish considered sustainable, reversible and eco friendly? Just trying to figure out whether it goes well with Mother Nature.
The calcium stearate layer is a few microns thick. The marble lime mix layer is a few mm thick. I am not sure what happens when it's recycled or removed, but I think the volume won't be much.
Wonderful. Building in Uttarakhand, and trained breifly in natural building. Will reach out to seek help with lime mortar and plaster.
Good luck with your project!
What is the ratio of lime powder and marble dust?
It comes pre mixed from MLIME. You can ask them.
7:38 beautiful colors... how did you added? Food Color? Or what else?
You get pigments/oxides to add to the lime plasters
Have excavated polished lime, rammed earth floors at archaeological sites but didn't think it could be done in today's concepts! I'm allergic to chemical paints and this looks like the perfect alternative. Where can I find more information about this technique? Also masons who specialize in it?
You'll find more information on this channel!
What is SOP please?
You can contact MLIME for that. They are the experts
Hi, I missed one thing here, is the marble powder mixed with sand & lime during plaster, or, is it lime + marble powder as a "putty" equivalent on top of the plastered surface?
Lime and marble powder as a putty
Mam, you've really done a very good venture. You are a very good teacher and explainer. I watch all your videos. About this video, I just wander what type of roof can be build for a house which is build using lime as binding material. Can a two story house be build using lime.
Unfotunately we have used cement in the roofs, as our masons could not use lime mortar for roofs.
@@farmaanandaa Actually, to install solar panels, we need higher roof. So what do you suggest mam.
Can polished lime be used on exterior surfaces, or is it only suited for interior surfaces.
You can use it outdoors, but it may not be value for money
Is this comparable to Tadelakt? Is the polished lime waterproof? Is black soap used?
Yes it is comprarable. No, white soap is used.
Soap!!!
Any specific soap??
Can you suggest any soap??
I m working on a building now..
Lux international white
@@farmaanandaa oh! Thanks a lot sister... I was planning to import black olive oil soap 🙏
Nice, I am looking for stearic acid soap to finish my lime plaster, but couldn't. I tried making at home but failed, can u guide me about stearic acid soap and it's exact ratio
If you are in India, just use Lux International white soap. Alternatively you can contact MLIME to source the soap they have made specially for this purpose
Great 👍
Can we make a high storey building using lime??? And what will be its sustainability??
Lime is a binder like cement. You'll have to use blocks, bricks or earth to make your walls. Sustainability will depend on what else you use
Any book to learn home construction using lime
Sorry, we don't know of any
Hello
Hi congrats to anandafarms.... mam im from city-kharar, dist-Mohali,Punjab... if you have..

Pls contact MLIME
Pls contact MLIME
Hindi me boliye madam please
HINDI ME REHATA TO BAHOT ACCHHA HOTA MAM
Phir baaki desho ke log kaise samajhte? Mujhe pata hai aap to kissi tarah samajh hi jaayenge 🙏
M lime will never grow as a business....sitting on sofa and just speaking complex technologies. No live samples nothing..
This is not the MLIME channel. You can comment on their channel if you wish
@@farmaanandaa I am wise enough to understand that ...since you introduced her on your channel..then I think I can comment on her as well
priyank your comment is out of context. Here they are to discuss about how to make various finishes with lime.
whether MLime will be successful or not is a problem of the society at large. Don't worry.
Live samples 🤣 stop explaining lime tech and give the nasty sod live samples for him to taste, to savour, to smear on himself without restraints, free to be what he always wanted to be but was up to this pointnvery much hindered by self-imposed societal constraints! Hurrah!
