Lime Pointing

Lime Pointing

Lime pointing is essential for the moisture management of older buildings. Unlike cement-based mortars, which can trap moisture within the walls, lime-based mortars are breathable. They allow moisture to pass through the structure and evaporate, rather than being trapped within the masonry. This is particularly crucial in historic buildings or those with solid stone walls, where trapping moisture can lead to issues like damp, decay, and mold growth.
