Benefits of using Lime Mortar
Movement is accommodated in the bed joints, reducing the need for vertical movement joints; which greatly improves the aesthetics of buildings.
The building will have more tolerance to movement particularly in high buildings / structures.
Lime will improved breathability, which allows moisture vapor to move freely through the mortar joint effectively reducing the likelihood of frost damage in the brickwork.
“Preserving your building’s future and everyone’s past”
If it was built before 1920, to prevent any serious damage to your building’s fabric, lime is the only way you should be going.
