These learning texts will guide you through the whole process of mortar use and production, from its origins 10,000 years ago to the application of the modern factory-produced materials that are widely used on building sites today.

Whether you are an apprentice bricklayer or a seasoned specifier, the Learning Texts provide you with everything you need to know about mortar. The texts range from An Introduction to Mortar to Properties of Masonry Mortar and from Production to Quality Assurance.
