Why Use Lime for Old Buildings?
Most old buildings have solid walls with no damp-proof course, and they were designed to breathe: moisture that gets into the wall dries out through soft, porous lime mortar, render and plaster. Modern cement and gypsum are harder and far less breathable, so they trap moisture in the wall. That leads to damp, mould, crumbling brick and stone, and cracked render that lets in even more water.
Lime is flexible, breathable and kind to old masonry, and it has a lower carbon footprint than cement, re-absorbing carbon dioxide as it sets. Read our guide to lime vs cement mortar, or browse more lime guides.
