Mortar Matching Procedures:

In order to ensure a proper match, we need at least two samples for testing.

The samples are visually inspected and any noticeable details are taken. A sample is then tested for its general hardness, and composition.

Mortar Composition

We determine the type of mortar mixes, sands, and other elements that compose the sample. We also check for known local contaminates that will affect the color or texture of the mortar.

Digital Confirmation

A sample digitally confirmed to the new mortar formula.

Determining Mortar Texture

The texture of the match is determined by comparison to different grades of sand.

Analysis of Mortar Color

We analyze the colors found and match each color to the right tone to the database to determine tone color.

The results from each of these sections are processed and combined into an exact mortar formula to match the original sample.

Mortar Formula Confirmation

This formula is then physically tested and visually confirmed before being sent back to you.
