We are proud to say that LimeWorks.us products are being used extensively across the United States to preserve historic masonry structures and to build “Green” with known health-sustaining natural building components.

As we are invited to visit a region it is our goal in 2010 and beyond to make sure that we at least demonstrate while we are in town how our stock items correspond when photographed up against original historic fabric. The goal is to encourage end-users that what they need to use on their own project locally may be as simple as working with our prepared and pre-blended products such as Ecologic® Mortar. Our company-wide vision is to help make short work of repairs and reduce the embodied energy of materials correlating to excess CO2 emissions from manufacturing by using natural materials that are complementary to what was used successfully in past recorded history. We advocate the use of mortars that contain no Portland cement which is known to contribute to accelerated deterioration of historic masonry units.

So, please consider to invite us to your town to speak with your Historic Architectural Review Board, City planners, Local Architects, Material Suppliers, Masons and Craft workers to continue a raised awareness of the importance of conserving regional historic heritage and building new sustainable structures that mirror the long-lasting properties of vintage buildings. Schedule a workshop with us that we will run at an underfunded historic museum house, a church or non-profit group’s site with 501(c)(3) designation.

Please rest easy all building conservators. In any of the regional historic masonry pages NO bricks, stones or mortar were harmed in the making of these pages!

We only make visual observations. If ever a sample is found in which we hold the sample up to one of our existing simulation tiles, the original sample may have come from a small bit found exfoliated from the host substrate and lying on the ground.
