Restore the timeless beauty and structural integrity of your historic masonry with our PHL 3.5 Lime Mortar.
Preserving a historic building is a labor of love, whether you’re a professional mason or a homeowner dedicated to doing it right. Standard modern cement is often too rigid for older structures, trapping moisture and causing stone or brick to flake and crack over time.
Our PHL 3.5 Lime Mortar Concentrate is designed to respect the original craftsmanship of your building. It offers the same breathability and durability as traditional hydraulic lime, but in a flexible concentrate that you mix with local sand. This ensures your repair doesn't just look authentic—it functions exactly the way historic masonry was intended to.
Why PHL 3.5 is the Right Choice
- Built for Longevity: Unlike Portland cement, this pozzolanic lime blend allows your masonry to "breathe" and flex. This prevents moisture buildup and protects your walls from the damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles.
- The "Goldilocks" Strength: Rated at a 3.5 (moderate) strength, this formula is the versatile middle ground—stronger than our 2.0 for fragile brick, but more flexible than our 5.0 for high-exposure areas.
- Easy to Scale: Available in Quart, Gallon, and 5-Gallon concentrates. Each container yields roughly 4x its volume in workable mortar once you add your local sand.
- Visual Accuracy: Choose from White, Gray, Light Buff, Dark Buff, or Dark Red to get a seamless match with your existing joints. Color packs are packaged separately with the mortar so you can add less pigment while mixing to adjust the shade of the mortar.
- User-Friendly: We’ve stripped away the complexity. Just follow the mixing ratios for sand and water to get a smooth, workable consistency that’s ready for the trowel.
Best Uses
- Repointing: Filling in aged or receding joints in historic brick and stone.
- Structural Health: Fixing cracks and gaps to stop water infiltration.
- Heritage Restoration: Maintaining the aesthetic and physical integrity of buildings originally constructed with lime-based mortars.
Mixing Instructions:
- Combine one part PHL 3.5 concentrate with 2.5 to 3 parts clean sand.
- Gradually add water until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Mix thoroughly until the mortar is smooth and homogenous. Mortar is ready to use right away.
Safety Precautions:
- Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection, when handling mortar.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines for proper mixing and application.
Invest in the preservation of your historic masonry with our PHL 3.5 Lime Repointing Mortar. Order your quart or gallon concentrate today and experience the difference that quality, authenticity, and breathability can make.

Let customers speak for us
Love this stain, it took our plain bin blocks to a whole different level! Multiple colors and endless design.
Very satisfied with the brick stain we purchased at Pro Mason. We got charcoal and Burgundy colors: mixed three parts of charcoal w one of burgundy and we got our mocha/chocolate/and some influence of darkish red we were looking for our bricks. We loved the finished product. Thank you ProMason a lot. Maria and Pablo
Been doing a fairly large job for an apartment housing company. Any time we’ve needed to color match brick in a pinch pro mason has been timely and professional 10/10
Very helpful. Answered my questions promptly, and shipped my product quickly.
I purchased the Pro Mason Supply masonry stain in hopes of muting the orange tones in the brick around our fireplace. It worked even better than I had hoped. I was so happy that it muted the orange and love the warmer brown hues. It was very easy to apply and there is no odor - and dried quickly!
I bought from them a few different times, the product comes quick, high quality, definitely recommend
I bought 5 gallons of PHL 3.5 Lime Mortar to repair the old stone walls of my basement. I am about halfway done the job. I will soon order another 5 gallons because this product is perfect for the job.
Great product. My order was filled quickly. We had some mortor joints we repaired and the color samples were ordered were a great match.
Great products and fast shipping, provided exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!
