DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

UNICMALL is a family business set up in 1960 to carry out the manufacture of quicklime at a small scale in the island of Majorca.

The demands of the current market have made UNICMALL become specialists in the process of slaking lime (its hydration), where calcium oxide – resulting from the calcination of lime – is transformed into hydroxide. For that purpose, they have in their installations a complete system of deposits, enabling them to manufacture lime putty of the highest quality and purity. Their experience and knowledge, transmitted from one generation to the next, together with the continuous research they carry out, has enabled them for over three decades to elaborate lime mortars for their different uses and applications with a large variety of textures and colours.

The use of natural materials, together with architectural design are key to create a home with a good air quality, with finishings free from emissions, breathable, avoiding water vapour condensations and obtaining a good performance regarding humidity and a fungicidal finish to avoid the troubles which can arise from the sick building syndrome.

APPRENTICESHIP

Since 1960, this company has shared its knowledge for many generations. The current owners are the third generation in charge of the business and some of its workers are the children of those who were the first in being part of this team of artisans.
