The 3rd on our ‘A Place for all Mortars’ Masterclass series!
This masterclass aims to demonstrate how there is a place for all mortars by explaining about the mortars we have available today. These range from hot mixed mortars closely replicating historic mortars to formulated ready mixed mortars and everything else in between.
Research and analysis have helped us understand why we should specify mortars to closely replicate those originally used, however, modern pressures force us to look at mortars more practically. This masterclass looks at all mortars and advantages and disadvantages of various applications in different examples.
