Glasscrete and Limecrete floor systems by Mike Wye are LABC (Local Authority Building Control) Assured. This means that seeking approval to install a limecrete floor system in your property is simple.
Limecrete floor systems are a modern interpretation of traditional solid floors that are both insulating and effective at managing ground moisture.
They can comfortably meet modern insulation requirements and can therefore ensure maximum efficiency of under-floor heating (UFH) systems.

Installing a limecrete floor, particularly in traditional properties, offers improved function compared to cement floors and their associated membranes and PIR insulation.
Unsympathetic, relatively impervious modern materials can create problems with moisture being pushed into ground level walls. This in turn can result in poor insulation, damp floors and even structural damage.
Limecrete floor systems consist of a non-capillary material (Techni-clay expanded clay aggregate or GEOCELL Foam Glass) at their base to deal with ground moisture and improve insulation. The latter is particularly important if you are considering the use of underfloor heating systems in your home.
The floor slab is made of natural hydraulic lime (NHL) and appropriate aggregates rather than from cement.
Limecrete and Glasscrete floors are sympathetic, functional and insulating floor systems.
Guidelines
It is important to match the design of the limecrete to the needs of the building. Factors include the type of construction for both floor and walls, floor area and groundwater levels.
