A 20kg tub yields approximately 10 litres of wet lime mortar or render. For rendering, this covers roughly 1m² at a 12.5mm thickness. For brickwork pointing, this will fill roughly 1.2m², for stonework pointing 1m² at 25mm depth or bedding 0.5m².

Consumption rates will change based on the condition of the background and suction. 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 natural 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 20kg buckets and palletised for ease of transport, storage, and handling. FIBC tonne bags are also available.

As a traditional non-hydraulic lime putty plaster, Cornerstone Fine Mortar and Render hardens through carbonation, a chemical process in which the plaster absorbs atmospheric CO₂. Seasonal climatic variations significantly influence carbonation; external work with this product is inadvisable between September and early April.

Do not use in temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C, or if freezing conditions are predicted within the following few weeks, including wind chill. We always advise following best practices for curing and protecting fresh lime renders and plasters. Protect from adverse environmental conditions, including frost, rain, direct sunlight and drying winds.

Store in covered and dry conditions, protected from environmental conditions, including water, damp or frost and clear from the ground. Always reseal packaging if product is still present.
