Telling Lime - Natural Hydraulic Lime
Telling Lime manufacture and are distributors for a range of natural lime mortar products for various applications, together with stabilisation and consolidation grouts, mesh reinforcement and lime paints and finishes. The natural hydraulic lime products replicate the strength, porosity, adhesion, vapour permeability and flexibility of historic mortars.

Unilit mortars conform to European Standard ENV 459-1 for natural hydraulic lime mortars. The products are manufactured using a modern day manufacturing process, are guaranteed against failure for 10 years and are warranted against defect under a professional indemnity insurance. Telling also manufacture a range of bonding agents for use with Unilit mortars.

Specify these finishing mortars as the final layer in the clauses for the background layers. Click on the name below to jump to the product and specification details.
Unilit 40 - Fine weatherproof finishing mortar for external render. Smooth or fine textured finish.

Unilit 40.
A dry, premixed mineral finishing mortar based on hydraulic, naturally pure and selected lime, and completely compatible with the Unilit system. Unilit 40 is a smooth or fine textured weatherproof finish for external use and internal use where high levels of damp and salts are prevalent.  Designed for applications where resistance against high impact and atmospheric influences are required and situations where rising damp or capillary action is prevalent, such as damp walls of buildings and cellars. The mortar is water repellent but very vapour permeable, allowing humidity present in the wall to be able to rapidly migrate from the structure. 
When used as a finishing mortar to new Unilit 20, 25 30, 35, 35M or Unilit Fen XA plasters and renders, specify as the final coat to the base render/undercoat (specify in the relevant Unilit clause). 
A colour finish can be applied with a lime paint - Corical - Lime wash and lime paint finishes are available from Telling Lime. Alternatively a through coloured finish - Unilit 65f/65M/65N or a Telling Cori polished finish can be applied.

Product reference: Unilit 40.
Thickness: 3-4 mm overall.
Finish: Seek advice from Telling. Sponged or floated to the desired finish
Application: Mix Unilit 40 with clean water - 4 to 5 litres of water to 25 kg of powder depending on the temperature and substrate. Mix manually or mechanically for 3 to 5 minutes.
Apply manually or mechanically to a dry or damp substrate in 2 layers of 2mm (wet on wet).
If the substrate is too dry, dampen down the surface prior to overcoating. Do not apply in temperatures below 5°C or above 40°C. The mortar remains workable for 2 hours and dries in 24-48 hours. Protect from frost for 48 to 72 hours.
