Limelite heritage mortars chosen for renewal of iconic York Guildhall site

After discussions with the Specialist Products team at Tarmac, the client chose Limelite Heritage Lime Mortar, a lime based cement free mortar in a Light Brown. As well as matching the visual aesthetic, the flexibility of Limelite Heritage Lime Mortars allow for slight movement and thermal expansion throughout the life of the building and reduce the risk of cracking. They can also reduce the need for expansion joints to improve the final appearance and along with the ready-to use pre blended formula, reduce build time for the contractor. Lime mortars are also breathable, allowing moisture to naturally evaporate and reducing the risk of trapped moisture and mould growth. This would also help the long-term performance of the building on this naturally humid river-side location.
