Specifying a factory manufactured, quality controlled, pre-mixed lime mortar, is a viable alternative to a cementitious mortar and its production results in up to 97% less embodied CO2.
Choosing lime-based building products is a wise decision for achieving, truly sustainable architecture.
The reasurance of knowing there is a guarantee of offsetting carbon emissions when compared to cement, is a sound choice for the present and the future.
Overall, the use of lime mortar provides numerous environmental benefits, as well as a superior aesthetic appeal, compared to its cementitious based counterparts.
Cement has largely shaped the modern built environment but it single-handedly accounts for about 8% of all global carbon emissions. Although the industry is taking steps to reduce its environmental impact, we really should be building with an eco-friendly, sustainable option that is available now!
Lime mortar continues to further absorb 5kg of that CO2 produced during carbonation (the curing process).
