	Historic Mortars

Edison Coatings is the ONLY North American source for ALL of the available major historic binders: Lime Putty, Hydrated Lime, Natural Hydraulic Lime, Natural Cement and Portland Cement - Lime. We routinely prepare custom authentic historic mortars for a wide variety of applications of all sizes.

We can work from your existing specifications, mortar analysis or recipe or we can analyze and match your mortar from provided samples. Our custom mortars typically include both custom blended aggregates to match original size, color, shape and composition as closely as possible, and historically accurate binders to match original composition and performance.

Where replication mixes are inadvisable due to poor performance or proportioning of original mortar, we can recommend mix design corrections to make your mortar look like the original, but perform as required.
