Official UK Supplier of Saint-Astier® Pure Natural Hydraulic Limes
Technical Lime Based Solutions
Lime Mortar & Heritage Supplies
When conserving heritage architecture, material consistency, purity, and breathability are paramount. Anglia Lime is proud to be an official UK supplier of Saint-Astier® products, delivering the world’s finest pure natural hydraulic limes (NHL) directly to contractors, architects, and period homeowners.
Unlike modern materials or blended limes that contain damaging additives, Saint-Astier® is globally renowned as the premier producer of authentic, pure lime binders. Manufactured in France from a unique, uninterrupted geological limestone deposit, these products offer unmatched performance for the restoration, renovation, and conservation of historic buildings.
Why Saint-Astier®?
The longevity of traditional solid-wall construction relies entirely on vapor-permeability and flexibility. Standard cement or artificial mixes trap moisture, leading to brick spalling and structural dampness.
Specifying Saint-Astier® products ensures:
Zero Artificial Additives: 100% pure natural hydraulic lime with no gypsum, cement, or fly ash, guaranteeing complete compatibility with historic building fabrics.
Excellent Vapor Permeability: Allows traditional masonry to breathe naturally, managing moisture movement and preventing internal damp issues.
Controlled In-Situ Strength: Gradual, reliable curing that accommodates natural structural movement without cracking or fracturing fragile historic brick or flint.
Exceptional Elasticity and Workability: Favoured by professional plasterers and bricklayers for its superb bonding capabilities, high sand-carrying capacity, and ease of application on site.
