The use of Natural Hydraulic Lime mortar for setting tiles greatly reduces the risk of staining and efflorescence. The resistance of these mortars increases with the time. Consequently, these mortars are less aggressive for terracotta and natural stone, than for cement based mortars.
TransMineral, USA was established in 1997 by Michel Couvreux, an architect in France and the U.S. His familiarity with traditional “old world” building techniques and materials have been instrumental in their revitalization in the U.S. along with his stewardship of implanting Saint Astier® Natural Hydraulic Lime in the North American building sector.
