HOW TO TIPS

How to choose the right mortar for your project.

Mortar joints can account for up to 25% of what you see in a masonry project. Make sure to give careful consideration to the mortar color, texture and finishing technique to achieve the right look. Discuss mortar options and ask for color samples from your masonry contractor.

Unique ruddy mortar complements the color tones of the stone.
