Other Mortar Repair Products
Pre-matched mortars are bags of mortar custom made to match the
existing hardened mortar of your masonry repair. These bags are made using the formula from the mortar matching test.
When you need a complete brick repair kit to help you from start to finish as you repair mortar cracks, we have the solution. Below is a list of what you need to make the perfect brick mortar repair kit.
This guide will explain how to repair the mortar/masonry, and explain the necessary tools required
These videos will show and explain to you how to do each part of the masonry repairs.
Mortar analysis with color match will provide a mortar formula for matching your existing mortar exactly.
With the mortar formula from matching, we can produce custom mortar for your repair. These bags of mortar require local sand and water, and you are ready to mix and repoint the mortar cracks or install missing bricks.
Below are the before and after pictures of a project where the old repairs are smeared and used mis-matched mortar,
and in the after photo, mortar smears are cleaned off the bricks and the mortar is repaired with matching mortar. You
will notice the second picture looks darker. This is because the wall is wet from cleaning and the pictures were taken
the same day. The first in the morning with more direct light and the second in the late afternoon when the sun was on
the other side of the building.
As you can see, masonry repairs look much better when the mortar is tested and properly
matched with our mortar matching services.
