Kinsale
The property shown in the photo, right,
is just nearing completion
in Kinsale in The Republic Of Ireland.
The house has been constructed entirely with Roundtower
Natural Hydraulic Lime.
The work has been completed during the winter months as the
property is situated by the waters edge.
The construction of this property
puts pay to a few fallacies about lime mortars. It can be
used for new build and is in many ways far superior to sand
and cement mortar. It can be used all year round even
through the harshest of winters if good site practice is
adhered to.
Hydraulic Lime is suitable for use in a marine environment
and has been used successfully in the marine environment
since before Roman times.
