Fine Red Hot Lime Mortar is renowned for its traditional composition and its historic association with architectural heritage. This mix contains local materials to keep in with properties that have mortar with a red hue.
Pointing, scratch coats (with hair or fibres) and float coats
- High workability
- Vapour permeable
- Capillary active
- Can be used with wet or dry masonry
- Cleaner work, premixed matured putty avoids limes leeching to the surface
- Compression resistant lime mortar
- Joint surfaces can be finished the same day
- Replicates original traditional pointing
- Long shelf life if stored correctly
Lime Mortar Coverage:
- Render/plaster scratch coats @15mm thick = 39kg/m²
- Render/plaster float coats @10mm thick = 26kg/m²
- Re-pointing stonework = Approximately 26kg/m²
- Re-pointing brickwork (assuming 10mm wide x 20mm deep joint) = Approximately 8kg/m² (including 10% waste)
- Brick laying – 1000kg of mortar will lay 900-1000 bricks (no waste allowed)
- Stone bedding – 1000kg of mortar will bed approximately 5 m³ of stone
- Roof parging/torching – Approximately 22kg of lime mortar (dependent on slate & lath).
For a ‘hydraulic set’ in traditional hot lime mortars and plasters, Pozzolans (a powdered additive) may be desired in some circumstances.
Quantity required for gauging into pre-mixed mortars:
- 5% by volume (1/20) – One tonne of mortar requires 12.5kg of Argical-M 1000
- 10% by volume (1/10) – One tonne of mortar requires 25kg of Argical-M 1000
