The Syndrome

Sick Building Syndrome affects approximately 64 million Americans and an estimate 6 million school children nation-wide. The causes: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), poor ventilation, construction and design flaws, and more. The symptoms: nausea, fatigue, asthma, liver and kidney damage, nervous system damage, cancer, and even death. The solution is simple. Start building healthier (and better) buildings.


Sick Building Syndrome is not something that's always been around. Historic buildings statistically rank far better indoor air quality and lower percentages of poor indoor air quality than their modern counterparts.


Virginia Lime Works set out to introduce a new way of building, that takes those tried and true construction techniques from history and couple them with modern technology and convenience to produce buildings that literally allow you to breathe easier.


From our Enviro-Ment Masonry Units, En-sulate Grouts, Enviro-Ment Building Lime Mortar, to our Mix&GO Stuccos and Plasters, and our VOC free easy to use Lime Paint, we can fight "The Syndrome" and we can win. Visit our green and healthy building section of our website to learn more.
