I'm wondering what the fire rating of this would be compared with standard plasterboard, and if it would be a problem for building control.
Has anyone else had experience with this?]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15160&Focus=259362#Comment_259362 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15160&Focus=259362#Comment_259362 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 19:54:59 +0100 ComeOnPilgrim
I've had a similar experience with building control. They have asked me for third party certification for the external lime render. We are using a traditional mix of lime and sand, so unlikely that it has a BBA certification. I'm not sure what to do.

Equally, we are planning on using lime plaster internally, mixed in a similar way.

So I'd be grateful for any information too!]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15160&Focus=259367#Comment_259367 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15160&Focus=259367#Comment_259367 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 21:07:11 +0100 djh
I would contact your lime supplier if I were in your situation as a first attempt to find some suitable paperwork. An alternative might be to contact the conservation officer at your local council, since they deal with weirder combinations.]]>
