Hudson Valley House Parts Workshop 2: Lime Mortar
Archtober Newburgh is an annual festival of 25+ free events that celebrates the city's rich architectural heritage, connects people to resources and promotes local initiatives in the community.
Provided by our beloved Hudson Valley House Parts store, attend this informative free workshop on the art of using lime mortar for repointing your historic home’s stones and bricks! Discover the vital role of this breathable, porous material in preserving the integrity of your building. Unlike modern cement, lime mortar allows moisture to escape, preventing damage to the structure and ensuring long-lasting durability.
During the workshop, you’ll learn about various mortar mixes specifically designed for restoration projects, allowing you to choose the right formulation for your home’s unique needs. We’ll delve into the preservation aspect of using lime mortar, discussing how it not only maintains the historic character of your property but also contributes to its longevity by protecting it from the elements. This workshop will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to enhance your home’s heritage while safeguarding its future.
