Description
Hot Mixed Lime and Traditional Mortars: A Practical Guide to Their Use in Conservation and Repair
This comprehensive guide explores the use of traditional mortars in building conservation and repair, highlighting their benefits for reducing carbon emissions. Nigel Copsey delves into the history, science, and industry applications of these materials, covering topics such as slaking and mixing hot mixed lime mortars, pozzolans, aggregates, and lime tempering.
By examining historic literature, material science, and industry case studies, this book aims to redress the knowledge gap in traditional mortar research. It provides a detailed overview of plasters, lime washes, sheltercoats, and the revival of interest in using like-for-like and compatible mortars.
