About
Conserv® is a UK-based company dedicated to the preservation and restoration of historic buildings through the use of traditional lime-based materials. Their mission is to provide high-quality, sustainable building products that respect the architectural heritage of the United Kingdom. By offering a comprehensive range of lime mortars, plasters, renders, and associated materials, Conserv® supports conservation professionals, homeowners, and enthusiasts in maintaining the integrity of historic structures. Their products are designed to be compatible with traditional building techniques, ensuring that repairs and restorations are both effective and sympathetic to the original construction. Conserv®'s product line includes hydraulic and non-hydraulic lime mortars, which are essential for various restoration projects. Hydraulic lime mortars, such as NHL 3.5, are suitable for external building work and offer benefits like breathability and flexibility. Non-hydraulic lime mortars, also known as lime putty mortars, are ideal for delicate masonry due to their softness and slow setting properties. These mortars are engineered to meet BS EN 998-2:2016 specifications and are CE certified, ensuring quality and compliance with construction regulations. In addition to mortars, Conserv® offers a range of lime plasters suitable for traditional lath and plaster walls. Their lime plasters are available in both base and finish coats, designed to be applied in a traditional three-coat system. This approach ensures durability and breathability, which are crucial for the longevity of historic buildings. Conserv® also provides materials like goat hair, laths, and lath nails, enabling customers to carry out authentic restorations. Conserv® is committed to sustainability and innovation in building conservation. They have conducted research into enhancing the properties of lime mortars by incorporating supplementary materials like fly ash (PFA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). These additions improve the strength and setting times of non-hydraulic lime mortars, offering more sustainable alternatives to cement-based mortars without compromising performance. Such innovations demonstrate Conserv®'s dedication to advancing traditional building materials to meet modern conservation needs. For those seeking guidance, Conserv® provides expert advice and resources, including comprehensive guides on lime mortars and plasters. They also offer tools like mortar calculators to assist in estimating material requirements for various projects. With a focus on quality, authenticity, and sustainability, Conserv® stands as a valuable partner for anyone involved in the conservation of historic buildings.
