By blending this concentrate with locally sourced sand, you can effortlessly create a durable and aesthetically pleasing mortar, ensuring a seamless and long-lasting repair.

Key Features:

  • Versatile Quart & Gallon Concentrates: Choose the size that suits your project needs, with each container yielding approximately 4 times its volume in ready-to-use mortar when combined with local sand.
  • Breathable for Optimal Moisture Management: The lime component allows your masonry to "breathe," preventing moisture buildup and promoting long-term durability.

Ideal Applications:

  • Repairing cracks, gaps, and deteriorated mortar joints
  • Matching mortar colors and textures
  • Restoring the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of residential, commercial, and some historic buildings

Why Choose Type N Lime-Portland Cement Mortar?

Unlike pure lime mortars, which can be too soft for some applications, and pure cement mortars, which can be too rigid and prone to cracking, our Type N mortar offers the best of both worlds: flexibility, strength, and breathability. By using a versatile and historically appropriate mortar, you ensure the longevity and beauty of your restoration work.

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Combine one part Type N concentrate with 2.5 to 3 parts clean, sharp sand.
  1. Gradually add water until the desired consistency is achieved.
  1. Mix thoroughly until the mortar is smooth and homogenous.

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.
