For centuries, limestone blocks were the
basis for the design and construction of stately, elegant monuments
and buildings. This was largely possible because of the
owners' enormous wealth, plentiful, cheap labor and acceptable lead
times of many years...Lymestone finish by Dryvit looks very much
like 'original' limestone, but comes without the extreme cost,
weight, and lead time associated with that product of a bygone era.
|
|
|
Lymestone finish is made from a mixture
of natural minerals and pigments, blended together in a 100% acrylic
polymer matrix. It is hand applied to the wall with a trowel,
and provides a durable and unique option for finishing Dryvit
systems, tilt-up concrete, unit masonry, stucco or interior drywall.
|
 |
| |
When used as a finish for Dryvit EIFS, Lymestone is
part of a cladding that is up to 84% more energy efficient than 6 other
commonly used wall systems*.

"I wanted
something really special for my house, and I was so pleased
with the results I got with the Dryvit Lymestone product.
People stop all the time to ask me questions about it, and
they can't believe it's not limestone block on my house."

"Dryvit's
Lymestone was really the best alternative we could find. The
project budget simply could not support the actual limestone
block that we designed in the plans. But we were really very
happy with the Lymestone solution because it got us the look we
wanted, and we could do it within the project budget, which made
the owner happy too."

"Our main
office has traditional Indiana Limestone facade with
pillars, so we wanted to recreate that at the branch.
We couldn't be happier with the result."

"Our
undertaking was to transform a building from a dated 1970's
era design to a modern contemporary style. Our design
was one of crisp, sharp lines with a flat, even finish.
We also required a hard, durable surface that would perform
in a coastal environment. After researching several
products, we decided on Lymestone."

Design Versatility
With Lymestone
|
|
Lymestone
finish is very versatile. It is used principally to achieve a
relatively smooth, slightly pitted look that is very close in appearance
to 'Traditional' Limestone. Lymestone used alongside other Dryvit
finishes affords the opportunity to combine complementary materials in
an energy efficient, seamless design, installed by one contractor and
covered by a single-source warranty. |

limestone effect. |
