bioLime Enters the Forefront of the Green Building Industry

March 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Orlando, FL. March 28, 2012- Amidst a declining economy, the green building industry has seen unfathomable growth; in 2008 it was a 42 billion dollar industry, in 2010 it was valued at 71 billion, and by 2015 it is expected to be a $135 billion dollar industry.  This incredible industry growth is due to consumer understandings of the benefits that come along with green building materials such as increased structure durability, improved inhabitant health, and higher rates of return on investments that have been built or retrofitted with green building materials.1 Brian Coia, President of bioLime, Inc.® (www.bioLime.com), is continuing a four-generation tradition of manufacturing eco-friendly architectural finishing solutions that use lime, an element that was used for extreme durability in building many of the ancient roman structures, like the Colosseum.

Addressing this $135 billion dollar industry demand, founder Brian Coia has made it his mission to develop innovative, cutting-edge, building products based in nature and tested in life. bioLime formulas are 100% natural and free of toxic additives and admixtures. bioLime works by acting as a durable and energy efficient “breathable skin” that surrounds the building’s structure and promotes a healthy living environment for the inhabitants.

Lime, the key ingredient in the bioLime product line, is a 100% all natural material that provides numerous benefits absent in other building materials. Some of the unique benefits of lime include moisture resistance and breathability which eliminates key issues in the building industry such as mold, toxins, and water damage. The lime ingredient is also self-healing and high porosity which results in finer fissures that the material can repair on its own rather than large cracks that require professional repair.

bioLime has used lime as a beneficial ingredient to create a product line consisting of BioMarmo™, bioPrimer™, bioPittura™, bioStucco™, bioTinta™, and will soon introduce BioStucco One Coat Finish, a durable formula that replaces the 3-coat process with a quicker and easier 1-coat process that is equally as durable, beautiful, and long-lasting.

bioLime’s attributes forge new frontiers for industry standards and provide affordable, sustainable, eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing options for architects, builders, businesses owners, and homeowners looking to build a credible foundation.
