Sand mix can also be used for patching and topping chipped concrete surfaces, or in conjunction with an acrylic fortifier for repairs less than 1” (25 mm) thick. Sand mix can also be used for laying flagstone.

Cedar Heights Airfloated Clay is a specially designed admix for combination with Portland or masonry cement to produce high quality mortars or parging. The clay acts as a lubricating medium that provides plasticity without excess water. The mortar spreads and floats with minimum drag on the trowel.

 

MORTAR COLOUR

Mortar can be nearly 20% of the total surface area of a wall, therefore a change in mortar colour will effect the overall tone of the wall.

SGS Mortar Colors are provided in unique pre-weighed and measured amounts to assure the most accurate color consistency available. Our A, H, and X series offer over 50 standard colors, all pre-measured for use in mortar and other mixes.
