SMET’s bauprocalc products are CE-marked, factory-produced hydraulic hardening skim coat plasters and render based on lime, specially designed for hand and machine application, produced to DIN EN 998-1. bauprocalc KG and bauprocalc 830 contribute to a healthy internal atmosphere.
They are an excellent alternative to plaster and renders containing gypsum or patent cement which are too strong and have less vapour permeable qualities.
They are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and rooms where high humidity levels are expected. bauprocalc KG produces a mortar that is softer than cement mortar. After the initial set, stability and strength gradually build up over time, allowing enough flexibility to cope with minor settlement or movement in the building during this period, thereby reducing the risk of cracking.
Good vapour permeability performance allows an unhindered transference of excess internal moisture through the building to the outside, thereby contributing significantly to a balanced and healthy internal atmosphere.
SMET NHL binders are particularly suited for ecological new builds, conservation, restoration, and preservation works. The products’ special composition allows mortars to breathe and permits constant hygrometric exchange between the substrate and the environment.

NI Builder Magazine says, “As the main contractor for Queen’s University Belfast’s new £4.9m Seamus Heaney Centre, GEDA preserved the heritage of two listed buildings while upgrading the site to meet modern standards. Transforming two Grade II-listed buildings into Queen’s new £4.9m Seamus Heaney Centre has proved both a challenging and rewarding experience for its main contractor.
Dungannon-based GEDA Construction is well-versed in handling projects of all sizes and complexity and pushing the boundaries of engineering and construction.
The refurbished site occupies 38-40 University Road and 3 Mount Charles buildings. Spanning 1,000 sqm, it doubles the size of the original centre founded in 2004 and opened by the acclaimed poet himself.
Having successfully navigated the many challenges emerging along the way, the Seamus Heaney Centre now represents a distinguished addition to GEDA’s portfolio.
“A significant milestone for our company, it reflects our ability to handle complex, high-profile projects and reinforces our reputation as a trusted and capable construction partner,” said Eddie Murnin, Associate Director of Construction at GEDA
“This project stands out as a testament to our expertise, collaborative spirit and unwavering commitment to preserving cultural heritage while advancing modern construction practices.” Source NI Builder July 24

SMET is delighted to have supplied its bauprocalc plaster and render for the lime rendering and plastering of Wilton House, helping Poplar Investments Ltd & Kelly Bros transform the 19th-century Belfast city centre building into unique, hotel-like, serviced apartments.
Michael Brannigan from Poplar Investments said, “Historical features are preserved not only in the appearance of the building but also in the actual buildup, which was exemplified by the use of lime plaster as it was done 200 years ago to ensure wall breathability” (Source: NB 32-4).

CASEA Bauprocalc KAP 830 – Hydraulic Lime Based Render was selected for the internal plastering in the renovation of this important historical house in Dublin. Principal building contractor, Lee McCullough Consulting Engineers were tasked with this mammoth renovation project. Smet Supported Partner, Tom Togher was selected for the application of the internal plaster.
Project in brief – (text from Lee McCullough Consulting Engineers)
Henrietta Street ranks amongst the more important architectural and urban ensembles of this country. It is the single most intact and important architectural collection of individual houses – as a street – in the city. In the international context, the street is of unique European significance, being the single remaining intact example of an early-18th century street of houses, which was at the forefront of what was to become the Georgian style.
Houses #3 and #14 were acquired by Dublin City Council in a bid to arrest their continued dilapidation and prevent collapse. Both houses had been significantly weakened by water ingress and consequent timber decay. The front wall of #3 was in particularly poor condition and significantly cracked. The rear wall of #14 had been weakened by past interventions and was close to the point of collapse.
Our brief was to restore structural integrity whilst minimising both cost and structural intervention of these important protected structures.

Smet Supported Partner, Colman Howard Lime Plastering applied high-quality products to a high-class finish. Another showcase of sympathetic restoration, using top-quality Lime products available from Smet Building Products Ltd. The overall building contractor was Gowen ConstructionBallyhooly, Mallow, Co. Cork.
Colman Howard Lime Plastering tells us a bit more about the significance of the renovation: “The building provides an imposing feature on Patrick Street, offering an unusual gable-fronted façade to the streetscape. Its varying but symmetrical openings enhance its tall form, which is articulated by the render plasters and sill courses. The oculus opening is an unusual feature highlighted by its moulded render surround. During surveying works, the historic building’s original pitch pine ceiling was uncovered, a masterpiece in carpentry. A local architect was engaged to redesign the store, dividing it into two retail units and we were very proud to be awarded the contract to be involved in this restoration, our reputation has been built on the quality of our work and the skill and expertise of our craftsmen, this project offered us the opportunity to showcase our skills to the full”. Well done teams!
Our comprehensive range of NHL restoration and preservation products, combined with exceptional technical support and aftercare, are the key drivers in the selection of SMET natural conservation products.
