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. 

Unilit Natural Hydraulic Lime Finishing 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 65N - Coarse through coloured finishing mortars for internal and external render.

Unilit 65N.

A coarse textured through coloured traditional, dry, premixed mineral finishing mortar based on hydraulic, naturally pure and selected lime and available in 12 standard colours and colours achievable using natural earth ochre pigments. Unilit through coloured renders are produced using natural earth ochre pigments, which are inert, UV resistant and do not leach out or fade. Where applied as a finishing coat Unilit 30 is applied by steel trowel a minimum 4 - 6mm thickness and can be sponged or wood floated to the desired coarse open textured finish.
Unilit 65N mortar is very vapour permeable and completely compatible with the Unilit system as finishing layers. Designed for applications where resistance against high impact and atmospheric influences are required. The optimum vapour permeability allows the moisture present in the wall to rapidly migrate from the structure.
When used as a finishing mortar to new Unilit 20, 25 30, 35N, 35M, 65 or Unilit Fen XA plasters and renders, specify as the final coat to the base render/undercoat (specify in the relevant Unilit clause).

Product reference: Unilit 65N.
Thickness:
4 - 6mm overall.
Finish:
Seek advice from Telling. Sponged or floated to the desired finish
Application: Mix the mortar with clean water - 4.5 to 5.25 litres of water to 30 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 a 4 - 6mm thick layer by trowel. 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. Do not use mortar below ground level unless applied over Unilit 30.
