Ty-Mawr Lime Ltd

Info:  Established in 1995, by husband and wife -- Nigel and Joyce Gervis, Tŷ-Mawr Lime Ltd has made an enormous contribution to resurrecting the use of traditional building materials in Wales and has become a market leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of environmentally friendly building materials and systems throughout the UK.

Concern for the environment, particularly with regards to minimising the impact of buildings on the environment, quickly became an important focus for Nigel and Joyce. It remains one of Tŷ-Mawr Lime Ltd’s core business principles today. This philosophy is at the heart of the company’s development of a unique range of environmentally-friendly building materials compatible with ‘breathing building’ principles. The range includes paints and finishes, building boards including woodfibre boards, wood wool boards, reed mats and reed boards, as well as insulation products made from Welsh sheep's wool, hemp and cellulose (recycled newspaper).

This dedication to the environment has earned Tŷ-Mawr several awards for its products, particularly those that present innovative ‘greener’ alternative to mainstream solutions. Examples of this are: glaster® -- a lime plaster made with recycled glass and sand, Lime hemp Plaster -- which uses hemp fibres instead of sand, and Limecrete, an environmentally-friendly alternative to concrete.
