Did you know that not all mortar is created equal? A case in point is professional concrete, which could be suitable above-grade applications. Professional concrete service companies choose professional concrete for their concrete projects. There’s no better choice for homeowners creating a decorative concrete patio or concrete driveway, or doing concrete repair. However, just as you are about to buy a few bags, you notice that there are different types. For example, Laticrete mortar is a substance that includes a strong epoxy adhesive. It is a fantastic option for thick-bed mortar as well as thin-set products.
Many of our masonry and hardscape accessories are available for online purchase through our Mutual Materials Online Store.
Selecting the Right Professional Concrete is Easy
Another option to consider is veneer mortar, which is ideal for the grout you need when installing artificial stones or veneers. Of course, there is a bit of crossover between the different types. There is Laticrete veneer mortar, which combines the epoxy with the standard base ingredients for heightened durability. Although the product is not meant to be load bearing, it nevertheless handles quite a bit of weight. For the strongest adhesion possible during a veneer installation, professional concrete contractors cannot go wrong with the Laticrete MVIS.
Once installed, how do you maintain the good looks of the jointed bricks and veneers? For most cleaning needs, standard brick cleaners will do the trick. They are designed to bring out the great looks of the stones. If you want to make a change to the color palette of your façade, switch out some face bricks for a stunning look.
If you don’t want to work with a concrete company, you can do concrete work yourself. Pave your new driveway or new concrete walkway. Find the right product for your concrete needs at Mutual Materials.
