Products Accredited courses in the use of
traditional building materials
Ty - Mawr Lime was established by Nigel
Gervis and Joyce Morgan - Gervis in 1995. They
had purchased Ty - Mawr and wished to repair it
using traditional materials. These were
unavailable locally and so they started to
manufacture lime based mortars, plasters and
paints on the site.
Since 1996 Ty - Mawr has
run training courses on the use of traditional
and ecological building materials, with many of
the courses accredited by the University of
Wales, Lampeter
The original focus of
the business was on traditional building
products for the conservation of old and
historic buildings. Ty - Mawr mortars, plasters
and paints have been supplied to prestigious
restoration and construction projects in Wales
and the borders including Aberglasney House and
Gardens, Worcester Cathedral, St Teilos Church
in the National Museum and Galleries of Wales,
Nant Clwyd House and The Royal House,
Machynlleth.
Over the years the
product range has been expanded to include
ecological paints, finishes and building
products including sheep's wool insulation,
building boards. The company has also developed
new products including Limecrete Floors, a
lightweight insulated flooring system which is
more ecologically friendly than concrete and
Glaster, mortars, plasters and screeds made with
lime and recycled glass. The latter was used on
a building in Cardiff that won the Grand Designs
Eco House award 2006. |
