28 QUAKES
28 quakes over 3.0 on the Richter Scale were recorded in the Western U.S. during the past 12 months. Mortars made with Type S lime are part of the reason why damage to modern masonry structures was minimal. In the West, mortars containing lime are the only ones code approved for seismic zones 2, 3 and 4. The reason...high bond strength to resist lateral movement. Type S lime helps "grab" brick and block, making it your best bond insurance against wall damage. Not just in regions subject to quakes or high wind loads, but anywhere structures are built to last.
