Why Lime Mortars Should Be Used For Pointing Sandstone

  • Sandstone’s unique qualities necessitate a thoughtful choice of binding or pointing material, where lime emerges as superior to cement for various reasons.

  • Additionally, lime mortars self-heal through carbonation, promoting lime pointing longevity with less maintenance compared to cement. Lime production’s lower environmental impact aligns with eco-friendly practices, reducing carbon emissions.

  • Very importantly, lime pointing’s softer and more traditional appearance complements sandstone’s aesthetic qualities, enhancing overall visual appeal. The difference is incredible.

  • For historical preservation, which is most of what we do, lime pointing ensures authenticity and longevity, vital for maintaining the integrity of heritage buildings and structures.

  • Lime mortar for pointing as well as sandstone construction, is a wise investment, offering compatibility, flexibility, self-healing properties, environmental sustainability, and aesthetic enhancement, aligning with both tradition and modern environmental consciousness.

  • We only ever use specialist lime mortars, specifically made for the construction, repair and pointing of sandstone. Dont accept anything less. Stonemasons Glasgow lime pointing services don’t.
