Non-hydraulic lime is made by mixing lime putty with sand. It arrives ready mixed but takes time to cure. This is often called traditional lime and it is used mostly in the restoration of historic buildings.

Hydraulic lime arrives dry packed and requires mixing with sand on site. It cures much faster than non-hydraulic lime. This lime is used in restoration and new build projects.
