Our job as Maître Chaufournier requires perfect control of our manufacturing process, a unique process that requires rigor and technicality throughout the production process: limestone extraction, operation of the ovens to obtain optimal cooking, control of hydration and extinction, meticulous grinding, in order to obtain high quality natural hydraulic lime. A craftsmanship inherited for nearly 100 years and which is part of a process of permanent innovation to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Natural hydraulic lime, a noble material par excellence ... A noble material par excellence, lime has been used for millennia in the construction and preservation of built heritage. It has faced the evolutions of our time, technical and scientific evolutions and still remains today the natural material of the future. Particularly appreciated for its cleansing properties, its aesthetics and the daily comfort it provides, natural lime remains the answer to the challenges of tomorrow's construction and to preserve our environment. In Saint-Astier, for 4 generations, our family business has strived to produce pure natural hydraulic lime from Haute Facture and lime-based solutions to meet your renovation, conservation, repair and construction needs. This constancy arises from the center of the Earth, nearly 20 meters underground, where the limestone bank has a unique mineralogical and chemical composition. It is the result of a layer of limestone rock infiltrated by silica, iron oxides and minerals present in tiny quantities. An almost inexhaustible deposit, specific to Saint-Astier, which allows the creation of an inimitable pure natural hydraulic lime. Because each site is unique, because each new or old building writes its history, the Saint-Astier teams are able to develop tailor-made solutions for you, and are able to support you at each stage of your project ( expertise / advice / product development / site application). Because knowledge and mastery of materials as well as the proper execution of actions are our raison d'être and are the real challenges of heritage conservation. For nearly 100 years, our family business, still independent, has maintained its production in the Saint-Astier basin in the Dordogne and continues to reinvent itself to maintain its worldwide reputation and excel in the field of conservation of Built Heritage. Together, let's continue to write the Saint-Astier History.
