Why Use Hydraulic Lime
2
hydraulic lime has been used as a binder for
brick, stones and masonry for thousands of years.
Before 1900 nearly all buildings constructed
across Europe will have been built using it, and
many parts of Europe are still using it for new
builds. One of the main benefits is it reduces
green house gas effect due to reabsorbing over
its lifetime of the mortar, thus being close to
carbon neutral.

What Are The Benefits?
Lime and cement when used in construction both
provide the same purpose of joining brickwork
together. However, it has many advantageous
properties over cement 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.
