- 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.

If we need acrylic binders for this plaster, I noticed some dusty particles when sanding a small test patch.
You can use hemp fibers. Much better than acrylic binders
Excellent information. Thanks for sharing. Please keep doing more. I want to construct a small living space with lime in Hyderabad. Not sure if we will find skilled artisans who can do lime work here. I will continue to watch these videos and hope one day I will build a house of my own.
Glad you found it useful. Best of luck for your project!
Very informative, I was looking for this kind of videos for a long time, I found this after all. Ma’am what is the consistency of lime and marble dust?
It's creamy
Great information. What type of pigment is used with lime to bring different vibrant colours on wall and in what quantity it should be mixed and from where to obtain the same
These are natural oxides or even synthetic pigments. The quantity depends on the colour you are looking for.
Ok. Rammed Earth wall and layer of marbel dust + lime + pigment. How many layers? As described in the video dust are of different sizes. And each size make a different material. Have you used 4mm of larger sized dust mixture layer and 4mm of finer sized marbel dust? Or one size one layer? or differnt sizes mixed in one layer? Sorry, I am not getting it clearly.
This video is for a textured lime surface. This is just one layer application with larger sized marble dust + lime mix.
How lime structure behaves in case of earthquake.
Means how a lime structure is analyzed for seismic loading, or are we only relying on its self weight
Lime is a binder like cement. You need bricks or stone to build the walls!
What if we use lime + mud for textured surface finish ?
You can experiment and see!
How to cure lime plaster, joints, floors ?
Lime plasters do not need any curing. They just need time.
