Can be used for both the conservation and renovation of historic buildings, and in new build applications
Mortars made with natural hydraulic lime gain strength by a combination of hydraulic setting and carbonation
The lower strength and greater permeability of natural hydraulic lime mortars when compared with cement-based mortars is particularly suitable for repairs to older buildings and for traditional style
Natural hydraulic lime mortars have good workability and plasticity and can accommodate some differential movement within the building
I would recommend this product and would buy it again
Used it for renewing pointing on a Victorian house . Excellent product for work on natural stone as it repels moisture and prevents erosion of the stone .

Hydraulic lime really finished the project off properly
Hydraulic line is a great way to bond flints back into a very old wall. Hydraulic lime has just the right combination of " give and stick " and the finish can be worked to a really rustic look.
