Clay Brick Facing

Clay brick units often have a high absorption rate. This is one more reason to use a lime mortar. The lime particle, by its sheet form, has the characteristic of retaining water in the mortar mixture.

Brick or Stone Concrete

Concrete brick units often have a low absorption rate. Therefore in order to reflect this characteristic, it is not uncommon for the mason to adjust the required amount of water.

Limestone Facing

Limestone units often have a medium absorption rate. Outdoors, lime-based mortars are very useful in managing rainwater. Installation of masonry elements demands the use of a mortar that is weaker in terms of compressive strength than the masonry unit itself.

Sandstone Facing

Generally, sandstones have a high absorption rate. Outdoors, lime mortars are of great help in managing rainwater. Installation of masonry elements demands use of a mortar that is weaker in terms of compressive strength than the masonry unit itself.

Silico-Calcareous Facing

Installation of masonry elements demands use of a mortar that is weaker in terms of compressive strength than the masonry unit itself. The mortar used must also conform to the light movements of the facing without deforming.

Concrete Blocks Indoor

The type of mortar to be used for installing concrete blocks indoors depends on the type of application. Since there will be no rainwater to manage, lime mortars are not necessary.

Interior Chimney

Since it takes less energy to manufacture lime than Portland Cement, it is always preferred from an environmental standpoint, to use a lime mortar.

Walls Built From 1975 to Today

Walls built between 1975 and today are generally constructed from a steel or wooden structure to which a masonry facade is attached. These walls are often built using a mortar containing masonry cement or a pure lime and Portland cement based mortar.

Retaining Walls

In addition to usually being exposed to de-icing salts, retaining walls, just like chimneys and parapets, are often exposed to elements such as wind and rain. Furthermore, they are exposed to a large number for freeze-thaw cycles without much protection.
