Benefits of Limelite NHL 3.5 Natural Hydraulic Lime

Matching existing lime mortar aesthetic - Using lime mortars helps to maintain and complement the general colour and aesthetic when renovating or extending historic buildings of constructing new buildings in historic locations or conservation areas.

Porosity and breathability of lime mortars - Lime mortars offer better vapour permeability to allow moisture to leave the building. This also helps to reduce the risk of freeze thaw damage when trapped moisture freezes and expands.

Flexibility and reduced strength of lime mortars - Lime mortars are slow to harden and remain more flexible than modern sand-cement mortars, with lower compressive and flexural strength, which helps to accommodate movement such as settlement or thermal expansion without causing stress to other building materials like brick or stone.

Quality assurance - Our products contain no additives, mineral additions or Portland cement and are quality assured to EN 459-1: Natural Hydraulic Limes with independent third-party certification. They also carry a CE Mark.
