Building with Lime: An Introduction

- 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.

Very well put. I share the belief that there is a middle ground between the concrete box and living in the forest. Thanks for this informative and inspiring content 🤘
We love that statement from Malvika too!
Soo interesting, I lived in Philadelphia USA in a 140 year old house. We had to figure out a lime sand mixture to repair our original lime mortar between the bricks. This is mainly because expansion of new cement is different and would destroy our very old bricks. The recipe we landed on was three parts sand and one part hydrated lime. Seem to hold up well over the years
Absolutely we will talk about repairs and ratios in our upcoming videos! Stay tuned!!
@@farmaanandaa I'm here for it! Can't wait to see what you guys came up with.
This entire Lime series is amazing. I would really like to see a video of lime flooring responding to 4-5 years of constant use. Or just general review of how it ages/exhausts with time.
Thank you. Will try to make more videos after that much time has elapsed.
In our old stone house in chilly mid-wales, we are mixing insulating aggregates like hemp, granulated cork and perlite into non-hydraulic lime binder to make an insulating, moisture regulating internal wall insulation product which we are applying directly onto our bare stone at 40mm thick.
There is so little standard info / recipes available so we are having to experiment quite a bit, but I feel lucky in some ways to be helping to bring-back the knowledge of this material and to be on the cutting-edge of figuring out how to innovate with it. Exciting times.
Sounds exciting! Good luck!
This is such a fantastic resource! Looking forward to the entire series. Thankyou for sharing this valueable knowledge! ❤
You're so welcome!
Thanks for this. Looking forward to more.
More to come very soon!
Yes. Can't wait for the next one. I want to learn more about lime
We love that!!
Please, upload video about how to make limecreate roofing for 1st and 2nd floor.
We do not have any experience in making limecrete
Loved the video ! Hats off Malvika :) ...pls do more of such videos .....thank you
Do watch the entire playlist called Building with Lime!
@@farmaanandaa i watched them yesterday and that was very informative and motivating to use lime ! Thanks for creating those videos!
Most welcome. We are glad they helped!
Video after a loooong time. 🎉
Yes! But we hope you enjoy this new series on Building with Lime
Greetings and thank you again for this series on working with lime. I'm very interested in working with lime as a stabilizer for rammed earth, however, in the country I'm considering, I'm hearing that lime is twice as expensive as cement. Do you know if this is the case in general (worldwide)? Thank you.
Hello and nice to hear from you. In India, lime is marginally more expensive. In your country Lime may be a rarely used material and perhaps that may be the reason for it being more expensive. Moreover, cement lobbies always manage to get rebates and tax concessions from the government!.
Thank you very much. Looking to build in Ghana. Again really appreciate your content. @@farmaanandaa
In my ancestral haveli, the lime mortar is used. Its still standing. However the architects are no longer and the knowledge is completely lost. I wish your team could reestablish the ancient architectural knowledge of India. And create proper documents for it, so that future generations can refer your authentic source.
MLIME is trying to do that
What about lime and trass (Chun-surkhi) ?
What about it?
Is there anyway i can use lime putty in rcc ceiling?
Why dont you check with MLIME company
What are pros and cons of using Lime Vs Cow dung based plaster? Can there be a combination using both of them? If so what should be the recommended ratio?
Lime has a longer lasting and classier finish. Cow dung based plaster may need frequent reapplication. We have no experience in using a combination of them. Do try and let us know too!
I want to build a sustainable ecofriendly house in coimbatore. How to I get your guidance right from designing a courtyard home.
Pls contact the architect whose details are provided in the description of this video

WHY NOT BUILD USING COMPRESSED SOIL & COWDUNG ??? LIKE WHAT DR SHIVDARSHAN MALIK PROPAGATES???
We have no experience with that. If you have used that, you can share your experience.

@@farmaanandaa madam you are right at your place, but english mee bolnaa fashion hee ban gayaa hee. App ke choice hee , chae Germany language mee bolee.
@@farmaanandaa mostly speak In english to show superiority over others.
I speak very well in Hindi, you may see that content too, but some content is not relevant in Hindi. I have a good sense of which content needs to be in which language and who is my target audience. But no matter which language you or I speak in, we can always be civil and decent towards each other 🙏
@@farmaanandaa I put a wrong remark for a right person. All are not same. But like other countries we can stick to one common language across country. Because language is a main cause of discremation in our country.
