Renaissance Lime Putty 416 Lafayette Street, Salem, MA 01970

Renaissance Lime Putty is a store located at 416 Lafayette Street in Salem, Massachusetts, United States. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality Lime Putty for historic masonry restoration, traditional decorative plaster, and green building projects. Our Traditional Lime Putty is produced in Italy using high purity calcitic limestone and traditional production methods in wood-fueled kilns.

We believe that the use of Portland cement in historic restoration causes irreversible damage to structures, which is why we offer natural lime putty that is free of additives and certified for green building. Our slaked lime is aged for a minimum of one year, resulting in a dense and fatty material ideal for various applications such as stucco, plaster, lime paints, and fine finishes like Fresco and Venetian Plaster.

Lime Putty, also known as calcium hydroxide, has been used for millennia to produce lime mortar that has stood the test of time. Unlike Portland cement, lime mortar cures by re-absorbing carbon dioxide, making it a more environmentally friendly choice with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Lime mortar also offers hypoallergenic and antimicrobial properties, allowing buildings to regulate moisture levels and improve air quality.

At Renaissance Lime Putty, we use our products on a daily basis and are confident that you will be satisfied with the quality and versatility they offer. Join us in rediscovering the benefits of traditional lime binders for restoration, green building, and modern construction projects.
