Benefits Of Hydraulic Lime Mortar
  • Lime cement when used in construction both
    provide the same purpose of joining brickwork
    together. However, lime mortar has many
    advantageous properties over cement

5
  • It is weaker than the bricks, masonry and stones,
    yet it is able to support the full weight of the
    structure. As a result this gives the building
    the ability to flex and move without the purpose
    of movement joints. There are many other benefits
    for using it too.

6
  • Reduces the need for expansion joints
  • Uses less energy to produce than cement
  • Consistent quality and colour of mortar
  • Re-absorbs CO2 when it cures and sets
  • Allows masonry to be recycled at end of life
