Lime Putty

Lime Putty or Non-Hydraulic Lime is produced by
slaking fresh Quicklime (Lump Lime) in an excess
of water which is then left to mature for at
least three months.
The resulting fat lime putty hardens as a result
of exposure to the air /re-carbonation and does
not set under water. This lime is often regarded
as the most appropriate lime to use in the
conservation of old buildings where maximum
permeability is required.
We supply Finest matured Buxton Lime putty and a fine matured Chalk Lime Putty.
The Lime Putty is blended
with sand to produce plasters and mortars or can
be diluted to make lime wash.
Alternatively we provide 'ready-to-use' plasters, mortars Hot Lime mixes and paints.
