Mortar is a fundamental building material used to hold bricks, stones and other masonry components together. Made up of lime or cement, water and sand, mortar fills the gaps between building blocks, to create strong and weather tight joints. It’s also used for surface finishes and decorative details in masonry walls. Unlike concrete, mortar is thicker in consistency and is used for bonding materials and distributing loads.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the parameters tested in mortar?
We test for compressive strength, workability, setting time and water absorption to meet structural and safety standards.
How often should mortar be tested on-site?
Mortar should be tested at regular intervals during construction, especially when using different batches, to ensure consistency of quality and performance.
What is the difference between cement mortar and lime mortar?
Cement mortar has faster setting times and higher strength, lime mortar is more flexible and breathable for heritage structures.
Why is compressive strength important in mortar testing?
Compressive strength is how much load the mortar can take. Ensuring sufficient strength is critical for masonry structure longevity and stability.
Can factory manufactured mortar reduce project costs?
Yes, factory manufactured mortar ensures consistency, reduces waste and labour costs by eliminating on-site mixing.
