Mortar
Mortars and concrete are the fundamental components of much of the construction industry in the U.K. Generally, a concrete is a cementitious material containing aggregates with dimensions greater than 5 mm, whereas a mortar is a cementitious material containing aggregates with dimensions less than 5 mm.
Mortars are used throughout the construction industry for a variety of purposes, including brick-laying, bedding of small concrete components such as ridge tiles, and for the sealing of certain types of paving. The use of lime mortars is usually limited to walling and vertical stonework applications and projects requiring 'traditional' materials.
Granolithic mortar, actually a fine-grade concrete used extensively in the construction industry where its hardwearing properties, ability to be applied thinly and its low cost, make it a popular and resilient surface. It can be used for steps, or anywhere else that a hard, smooth, concrete-like finish is required, including screeding-over existing concrete floors.
All types of mortars can be mixed in the CreteAngle® Model L Heavy Duty Mixer. For smaller mixes, the Model S or Model CF 28 would be quite suitable.
All CreteAngle® Mixers have a worldwide reputation as robust and reliable machines capable of fast, consistent and thorough mixing of this type of material.
