Benefits of Heritage Lime Mortar
Flexible, crack resisting mortar
The flexible, crack resisting nature of Limelite Heritage Mortars significantly reduce the risk of cracking and allows for slight movement and thermal expansion throughout the life of the building.
Mortar for fewer expansion joints
Cement mortars are brittle and typically require a significant amount of movement joints. Lime based mortars like Limelite Heritage Mortar is far less susceptible to cracking and requires less than half the amount of joints that cement mortar requires.
Breathable mortar for historic buildings
Limelite mortars are breathable. This allows moisture to evaporate and buildings breathe. This significantly reduces the risk of trapped moisture, damage to building fabric and mould growth. Eliminating trapped moisture in brickwork reduces the risk of frost damage and significantly improves thermal efficiency.
Colour matched mortar for renovation and extension of old buildings
Limelite Heritage Lime Mortar is available in six standard colours. This means that it is easier to match the colour of existing mortars when renovating, extending or repurposing old buildings. For large projects, a colour matching service is available allowing us to match samples from our client’s site.
Sustainable mortar for renovation
Lime is produced at a far lower temperature than cement, therefore requiring significantly less energy to produce and producing fewer emissions during manufacturing. Lime has a unique ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, further minimising the total CO2 emissions.
