We do a lot so you don’t have to!
Education is a central component of LimeWorks.us’ mission. You may have seen the plethora of Resources available on our website, so how can they help you discover more about lime materials and choosing the right material for the job?
A key place to start when learning the ins-and-outs of our lime materials. Many of the questions we receive can be answered right in these pages.
A favorite one to explore! Curious about what our different DGM stock colors might look like when installed between brick and stone? This will help you take a look virtually. Discover the impact that different mortars can have, even between subtle color differences. Obviously, as this is on a screen, viewers should remember that many factors impact how mortars appear. For the best visualization upon your own wall, we encourage you to order a sample kit.
An unexpected gem. Find images of different mortar joints and stone styles and the mortar mix used. Each image also includes information on the finish tools used. The ideal spot to learn some masonry lingo.
This page also includes recipes–for a basic lime whitewash and log chinking–and some of our FAQs and blog posts on the topics.
Everyone needs a little help now and again. Fill out this questionnaire and our staff will get back with their recommendation on which type of NHL is suitable for your project.
A frequent question we receive is “how much do I need?” This can help factor in items such as joint depth, deducting openings like windows and doors, and including a 10% adjustment factor. You can calculate mortar needed for brick, stone, whitewash, and plaster/stucco needs.
Training at the Craftwork Training Center
The biggest resource that LimeWorks.us provides: training! With expert guidance, material-science information, and hands-on time with our lime materials, a workshop is one of the best ways to understand and be prepared for success.
