Ideal Applications:

• Matching historic mortar colors and textures in challenging environments

• Restoring the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of heritage buildings in harsh climates

Why Choose PHL 5.0 Lime Mortar?

Unlike modern cement-based mortars, which can be too rigid and trap moisture, our PHL 5.0 lime mortar offers the strength and durability of eminently hydraulic lime while still allowing your masonry to breathe. This makes it ideal for use in exposed locations where resistance to weathering is crucial. By using a historically accurate mortar with the appropriate hydraulic properties, you ensure the longevity and beauty of your restoration work, even in challenging conditions.

Important Note: PHL 5.0 is specifically designed for masonry exposed to high weathering conditions. For masonry in sheltered locations or requiring less strength, consider our PHL 2.0 or PHL 3.5 mortars.

1. Combine one part PHL 5.0 concentrate with 2.5 to 3 parts clean, sharp sand.
