highly insulating lime plaster with a conductivity of 0.026 W/mK
for insulating internal and external areas of masonry walling.
ideal for insulating buildings where space is restricted or surfaces are uneven.
a non-combustible, breathable insulation.
Where is it used?
Fixit 222 aerogel insulating lime plaster can be used internally or externally on masonry walls.

It should not be used at plinth level on the exterior.
Can be used in basements.
How long does it take to cure?
Curing times vary with temperature and humidity but the product should be left for a minimum of 21 days to cure with thicknesses over 100mm requiring 35 days. After this time, the primer can be applied to the surface and subsequent coatings applied.
Is it suitable for old buildings?
This product is very vapour permeable and has been engineered to be even more so than traditional lime putty or hydraulic lime plasters making it ideal for all sorts of historic substrates. It is also a fairly soft product and so does not do any damage to historic building materials.
This product is also suited to new buildings and due to it’s high thermal mass, it reduces surface condensation, keeping rendered facades cleaner for longer.
How is it used?
This product is for purchase and installation by trained installers only.
First, the surface of the walling may require preparation with a spatterdash coat to ensure a good key.
