Product Information

The stippling action is important; brushing up, down or side-to-side would not have the desired effect. The properties of Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) are documented and tested; manufactured under controlled factory conditions. Lime mortar that is applied to cover internal walls and ceilings is generally called "lime plaster".

Adding too much water will cause separation of the lime from the aggregate, it can also affect the colour of the mortar. Wherever you hear the term "lime mortar" the emphasis is on the traditional and environmentally friendly aspects of the material.Maintaining a stable, high level of humidity aids carbonation (for air lime) and hydration for (water lime) which are optimal at 60% and 90% relative humidity respectively. The pores produce a poulticing effect and expel moisture from the masonry, a major benefit of lime mortar.

The lime mortar compatibility table can help; it shows most building materials in relation to compatible mortars.Although counter-intuitive, joints should not be finished with tools such as trowels, jointers and pointing irons.
