BREATHABLE FLEXIBILE ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABLE

Lime products allow moisture to travel through them and will wick away moisture from brick or stone & deteriorate faster than the surrounding masonry, protecting the building for centuries.
Lime mortars are able to form hairline cracks that self-heal in the presence of moisture, by form of carbonation, reducing the chances of forming larger cracks
Lime absorbs carbon dioxide as it cures, gives off less carbobn-dioxide in it's production and uses less energy during production than cement based products

Buildings reclaim over 95% of the brick & stone used when built with lime products. Lime can be re-burnt or used as aggregate in re-building works.
