Manufactured by Cornerstone using 100% pure natural hydraulic lime, natural sands, and conservation-appropriate additives to create high-performance mortar replicating the historic mortars found in the Tamar Region of the Southwest of England. Available as standard with Saint-Astier® NHL3.5. Other binders and mix ratios are available upon request.
Well-suited for stonework applications featuring a large joint or projects looking for a coarse light grey buff finish.
As part of the Cornerstone Drymix range for general building and pointing, this ready-mixed natural hydraulic lime mortar features pure lime and natural sands to provide the breathability, flexibility and durability that the building fabric needs to stand the test of time.
With a diverse range of lime-based products, Cornerstone defies the standard one-size-fits-all approach, providing refined solutions to tackle each project effectively. Their products can be found on prestigious buildings worldwide, blending innovation with tradition to meet evolving industry needs.
As with any natural product, variations in colour, texture and shape may occur. In addition, images may vary slightly from actual products due to these natural variations and screen resolution. For the best consistency, ensure to acquire a sufficient amount of material with your order to avoid batch-to-batch variation.
Suitable for internal or external use, where the binder strength is appropriate for the host background or surface.
Drymix Tamar Blend is suitable for general building and pointing work applications, including where the joint and bed size exceeds 10mm or projects aiming for a pale grey asethetic. Explore Drymix Coarse for a creamy buff finish for stonework. Appropriate for various project types, including conservation, renovation, or sustainable construction.
Drymix Tamar Blend prefers masonry with a degree of suction, so masonry units such as engineering bricks may be more challenging to work with.
A 25kg bag will produce approximately 15 litres of mortar and fill roughly 1.5m² of joint. The width and depth of the joint will influence this estimation. On-site trials are advised for the best yield indication for your specific project.
As natural products, our kiln-dried sands may exhibit variations in colour, texture, and shape. While these variations are minimal, when colour consistency is crucial, we strongly advise each elevation is completed using material from the same batch.
Supplied in 25kg polythene-lined and colour and batch-code paper bags for easy identification on-site and palletised for ease of transport, storage, and handling. FIBC tonne bags are also available.
