Lime Surface Finish: Polished Floors

- 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.

Great malvika
Really very pretty and very simple to maintain...good job...thanks.
Thank you so much 😊
My father built our house in lime mortar 70 years ago. Both the plaster and the floor are still good though the outside plaster has peeled of at places. I don't find any masons doing any work on lime mortar. So the repairs have not been done though the house needs it.
How wonderful to hear this. You can contact MLIME for your repairs is you wish
Can you make an video about wireing work&plumbing in this construction
I hav been waiting for this
Glad!
Thanks from Italy. Can you explain further the use of Stearic acid…. . .? Did I hear right.
I have edited this as I have further understanding of the fats in soap combining with lime during the carbonisation.
thanks so much for this video ! boosts the confidence to use lime for flooring.
Glad it was helpful!
@@farmaanandaa - Was the wax the regular Wax (Mansion Wax Polish thats applied on oxide floors) or bee wax ?
Beeswax
Really loved the idea, are there ways nowadays to get it dried earlier?
Dont think so. Only patience
ok. For lime textured walls there was one layer and for lime polished there are actually four layers? Right? My second question is, when you finished a part of the floor and start building the next part what do you put in between? Or new lime part easily makes a bond with old part?
The floors are partitioned with aluminium strips to allow for expansion contraction. These joints are what separates one part from the other
And yes polished lime are four layers within the 4 mm thickness

What an amazing job. I wish I could visit India sometime. One question I would like to ask is about hardness of the floor. It looks like 5mm sharp stones are enough to cause damage to the floor. Will a polished lime floor hold up to slippers and stones and dust?
Thank you. Slippers and dust of course. But initial years the floor is still setting, so hard stones or sharp objects can damage it.

Does walking barefoot on lime floors feel nice and soft like walking on plain earthern floors OR harder like walking on cement ??
softer than cement - more like earthern floors
Thank you for the series. Do the lime floors have insulation properties ? as cement, stone & tiled floors always stay cold and behave as heat sinks.
Lime floors are very cool in summer. In winter they may be a bit warmer than stone or tiles, but we are not sure. Our floors are 16 deg C in peak of winter without the room being heated.
Thank you for the prompt reply. Summers would be nice then. However, the issue of cold floors is more of a concern in the winter months. May I ask what was the outside floor temp. with respect to the 16degC inside floor?
And what is the peak winter temp. around you?
I am also looking for MAKING Wash Basins of LIME in our house.

I am based in Kalaburagi District - Karnataka State.
PLs contact the MLIME team
Is anything used to stop moisture rising up through the floor?
Not really. With lime floors, mosture gets absorbed and the released
@@farmaanandaa thank you for answering my question. You have a beautiful channel & I look forward to seeing more of your posts.
What about the cost factor? In comparison with marble or tiles for example.
Would be comparable but you'll pay more for labour and less for material
i want to make sustainable house with lime and earth
How much it cost to make alime floor for 30*25 feet home
Pls contact MLIME for those details
How to handle the heavy furniture movement on lime floor?
Use furniture pads
Quick lime, is it easy to get? But slacked lime is.
If you straight away have slaked lime, then even better
Did he apply linseed oil to the floor to make is shine ? can we use coconut oil instead ?
It's beeswax. You can use coconut oil but keep it to the minimum. Too much oil makes the floor sticky and dull
thank you @@farmaanandaa
@@farmaanandaa sealing with what acid ? with beeswax doesn't lose it's antibacterial and breathlessness characteristics of the lime ; than to clean it , can't use hot steamer because of the beeswax. How to popper clean it, other than only water on this surface?
Can polished lime work for outdoor gazebo floors
It can. But these floors can get slippery when wet. So watch out for that
MLIME FAT lime can be used for top coat ?
No. For top coat you have to use MLIME Play series
