You should choose a mortar that is more vapour permeable and less dense that the stone or brickwork into which is being put to ensure that it reduces the decay of this stone or brick as much as possible. The sheep’s wool insulation that we supply is treated with natural materials that prevent it from degrading or being damaged by pests or fungal attack. It also resists damp exceptionally well. It works on the sheep and it works in your buildings.

Firstly, as a basic principle, the mortar should always be weaker than the surrounding masonry. Issues such as substrate type and condition, site exposure, time of year, ease of use and compatibility with existing mortars must also be considered. The choice of aggregate is also an important factor. Sharp, well graded concrete and building sands are generally used in lime mortars ? for most pointing where mortar joints are 10mm or wider, a sharp concrete sand is usually appropriate.

Spalled brick in an1860s lighthouse that was repointed with portland cement mortar about twenty years ago. The historic stone masonry units have deteriorated dramatically, while the portland cement mortar joints remain intact. It' s important to understand that historic buildings are very different than modern buildings in several key ways: First, historic brick--in particular--is softer than modern brick because modern brick is fired at a much higher temperature than was possible in the past.

Water cure all Rapid Set® Mortar Mix installations. The objective of water curing is to maintain a wet surface until the product has achieved sufficient strength. Begin curing as soon as the surface has lost it's moist sheen and continue for a minimum of 1 hour.

Yes. As we have already mentioned on this page, historic brick was fired at a lower temperature and is typically softer than modern brick. Construction techniques have changed, but it's still important that the mortar accomodate the historic brick. Due to the prevalence of portland cement mortars (notably the standard Type N), very few masons have worked with traditional lime mortars.

IP pointing is a great feature to use if your website has a static IP address. With IP, visitors moving through your site will always see your domain and the file name of the page they are on, instead of the IP address and file name.

The mortar mix can vary, depending upon the sand used and other factors, however a typical mortar mix in the Perth region is 6 parts good sharp yellow brickies sand, 1 part lime and 1 part of cream (off-white) cement.

Obviously, you want to avoid the kind of damage described above, and in order to accurately recreate the original mortar you typically have to have the mortar analyzed. Although a building constructed before 1871 was undoubtedly pointed with lime mortar (because portland cement wasn't even available until that year) the years after 1871 are a grey area.

A staking plan is incorporated within the advice sent out. Dependent on the analysis of races and additional information obtained, each selection is advised with a recommended stake. InsideOutRacing use a pointing system with 1pt being the minimum and 3pts being our maximum investment. A sensible plan that many of InsideOutRacing's Clients use for their investments is to use a betting bank (a total that they can afford to lose).

Absolutely! The extended frequency response of the PAMDI is ideal for bass instruments. In fact the Low Eq Band is sweepable down to 25Hz. That's lower than most bass instruments but very useful in certain situations. It's all the Owner's Manual that comes with the PAMDI, check it out... The upper end of this range is limited by ‘clipping’ which, in turn is limited by two factors, the supply voltage and the efficiency of the amplifier design.

Hydraulic lime mortar is a lime mortar that hardens in damp or even wet conditions through a chemical reaction rather than exposure to air. (This is in contrast to standard, or non-hydraulic lime mortars, which harden by absorbing carbon dioxide, a process known as carbonation.) Hydraulic qualities are created when clay is included in the lime mixture.

This depends on the type of touch screen. Resistive touchscreens are pressure sensitive and will work with any type of input- finger, gloved hand, stylus, pen, or any pointing device. Capacitive screens on the other hand will only work with finger input. PenTouch is a special type of Capacitive screen that comes with an attached pen stylus. SAW (surface acoustic wave) touchscreens will work with finger input or soft-tipped stylus input.

Studies have shown that Internet-based technology, while capable of everything from quoting to binding a policy, is not enough for a bank or other institution to be successful selling insurance online. Today, only a tiny fraction of insurance policies are sold over the Internet. However, online insurance sales are expected to soar to $4.1 billion in 2003, and more than $11 billion in sales will be influenced by the Internet, according to Forrester Research.
