Traditional lime pointing
Lime Pointing benefits
Lime pointing offers several benefits that make it a preferred choice for building restoration and renovation projects:
Breathability: it is porous, allowing moisture to evaporate, preventing dampness and mold.
Flexibility: Lime mortar is flexible, accommodating the natural expansion and contraction of a building without cracking or crumbling. This is crucial for older or historic buildings.
Historic preservation: matches the original materials and techniques used, maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the structure.
Aesthetics: provides a beautiful, textured finish that adds character and charm to a building.
Durability: has been used for centuries and has proven to be a durable and long-lasting option for building construction.
