Hot Mixed Lime and Traditional Mortars - A Practical Guide to Their Use in Conservation and Repair (Paperback)

Traditional mortars are eminently workable, effectively porous,
economic in use and appropriately durable. Used in buildings for
thousands of years, these materials are ideal for repair and
conservation work. Unlike cement or modern hydraulic lime, their
routine use would make a significant contribution in the struggle
against climate change. However, despite the 1975 'lime revival'
there remains a deficit in research into the most-used traditional
mortars. This book seeks to redress the balance. Drawing upon
historic literature, material science and industry case studies,
topics covered include: a historical overview of traditional
mortars; slaking and mixing hot mixed lime mortars; the essentials
of pozzolans, aggregates and lime tempering; plasters, lime washes
and sheltercoats, and finally, the revival of interest in the use
of like-for-like and compatible mortars.
