Ty-Mawr Sublime Floor System
Limecrete floor compatible with under-floor heating
'Ty Mawr’s Sublime® is an Insulated Limecrete Flooring System originally designed for solid wall constructions but is equally appropriate for new builds and extensions.
It comprises of two primary layers – the Glapor SG600 Recycled Foamed Glass (RFG) Insulating Gravel layer and the Limecrete Slab.
The Glapor SG600 RFG product is a high performance gravel made from 100% recycled glass; it’s exceptional qualities enable it to act as the hardcore and construction layer, whilst providing moisture management (with a known wicking break and non-capillary draw) and insulation.
The Limecrete Slab is a blend of natural hydraulic lime and recycled aggregates which provides the main load-bearing element of the floor as well as providing thermal mass.'
