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.
