What is the purpose of lime in mortar?

Did you know that Lime has been used as a binder for over 2000 years. We still use Lime as the primary binder today in many mixes. Check out some of the many benefits of using Lime Mortar:

Excellent workability
High water retention – reducing cracking and water penetration into joints
Mortar strength – better accommodate structural movement
Freeze-thaw resistance – allows any moisture to evaporate
Self healing – Should hairline cracks develop, the combination of lime, moisture and carbon dioxide from the air can help to seal the crack

Added bonus! Lime Mortar has a very high degree of breathability. Why, I hear you ask is this a bonus. Well it’s one of the keys to avoiding dampness and decay.

Our clients say

Edinburgh Stonemasons recently installed a high quality hardwood and glass panelled doorway in my C-listed house The design of the door and the installation of it – it is an outer doorway – were first rate, and we particularly appreciated the trouble Edinburgh Stonemasons went to use and install sympathetic wood and stone throughout – this involved the sometimes unforeseen cutting of basalt blocks and obtaining at some trouble appropriate materials to match the existing house. I would highly recommend the firm. Hope that helps. And good luck!
