Why Use Lime?

  • Allows the building to breathe
  • Less rigid than cement mortars
  • Weaker than cement mortars – mortar joints and renders should always be weaker than the building units or background
  • Can eliminate the need for movement joints on large elevations
  • Can heal any cracks due to movement

Environmental Advantages

  • Lower Co2 emissions during manufacture as burning at lower temperatures than OPC
  • Co2 recombines with the lime during its lifetime, unlike cement
  • Reclamation of building materials easier with “soft” lime mortars than if OPC
