New Build Mortars
Lime Green produce mortars for cavity walls and stone construction. Building walls with lime based mortars especially formulated for high elasticity and workability, good breathability and low capillarity is the way to provide a better living environment. Furthermore the visual aspect of these mortars add a warmer feeling to the building.
Hard cement mortar, renders and modern interior plasters are inflexable and also do not allow any vapour exchange, consequently any moisture is accumulated with the risk of condensation and damp. Lime Green hydraulic lime mortars allow for minor building movement, can eliminate construction joints and allow higher vapour exchange (breathability).
Available in over one hundred different colours and four different textures, Lime green’s premixed hydraulic lime mortar can be supplied in 25kg paper sacks or in bulk for use with on site silos and mixing equipment.
