[Audio] Mortar Joint Types and their functions What are Mortar Joints? Mortar joints are the spaces found amongst bricks or stones, filled with a special mixture of mortar that generally contains cement, sand, and water. Mortar works to join bricks, stones, or other building blocks together, in turn keeping the wall together with well-dispersed stability. Advantages of pointing in construction : 1) Enhances structural integrity, ensuring a stronger building. 2) Provides weatherproofing, protecting external walls from moisture. 3) Restores the overall appearance of the building, improving its aesthetics. 4) Increases the value of your property, making it more desirable. 5) Reduces ongoing maintenance needs, saving time and costs.

[Audio] Common mortar joint types Concave mortar joints : The shape of these mortar joints might resemble a small dip or even a bowl. This type of design serves well to direct rainwater off the wall and thus reduces the chance of water damage. Due to the concave type of design, which is so practical for protection yet seems very neat to the eye, this is one of the most commonly used mortar joints for many kinds of masonry work.

Even though it does not perform as well in terms of keeping water out as compared to the concave, many builders still prefer using them because they give wall surfaces a clean and refreshing appearance ..
