How is non hydraulic lime mortar/plaster/render made?
Our non-hydraulic Coarse Stuff lime mortar is made on site using our CHALK LIME PUTTY and a blend of grit sand and WAREHAM WASHED SAND. It is supplied as a ready mix, meaning it is easy to use straight from the bag.
- The limestone and flint grit makes it ideal for flint work or pointing rubble stone as the combination maintains the white mortar colour with flecks of dark particles.
- Available in 25kg bags. Or for larger orders, choose a half tonne bag, a tonne bag or a full pallet of 25kg bags.
- Also ideal for backing coats of internal plasters or exterior render.
What is non hydraulic lime?
Non hydraulic lime is lime in its purest form. It sets in contact with air through a process of carbonation. The slow setting process means non hydraulic lime remains softer and more breathable. It is good for internal plasterwork and for use on soft backgrounds such as cob, soft stone or friable material. There is more information on the differences between hydraulic and non hydraulic limes in our User Guide WHICH LIME?
