Breathable Lime Renders & Mortars for Traditional and Eco-Build Projects

At Licata Building Systems, we supply high-quality lime renders and mortars designed for heritage restoration, traditional buildings and sustainable construction projects. Our lime-based systems offer exceptional breathability, flexibility and moisture regulation, making them ideal for both historical properties and modern eco-friendly developments.

With a range of formulations for different substrates and applications, Licata lime products help preserve the natural performance of masonry while providing a durable and attractive finish.

Why Choose Lime Renders & Mortars

Unlike cement-based materials, lime renders and mortars allow walls to breathe, helping to regulate moisture and prevent trapped damp within the structure. This makes them the preferred choice for:

- Heritage buildings requiring sympathetic restoration

- Solid-wall properties with no cavity insulation

- Eco-build and sustainable construction projects

- Buildings in high-moisture environments

Benefits of Licata lime systems:

- Breathable and vapour-permeable to protect historic masonry

- Flexible formulations to accommodate structural movement

- Natural durability and resistance to cracking

- Environmentally friendly and low-carbon materials
