Re-pointing with Cement-based mortars

Cement is very much like flour, the main ingredient in baking that we all know can be used to make many things such as muffins, bread, etc. The most common type of cement used across the world is Portland cement. The primary reason for this is its composition. It is made of concrete, mortar, stucco and grout. The origins of cement can be traced back to the early 19th century. Portland cement has today become the basic ingredient for ready-mix concrete. A cement mortar will always be a good choice.

On being mixed with other aggregates, cement begins to serve a dual purpose. One, it provides for the concrete products to be workable when wet and two, it provides them to be durable when dry.

Any kind of iron or timber structure is exposed to corrosion either by air or water. But with a concrete casing, made by utilizing cement, they can be effectively protected.

Due to its ability to prevent corrosion, cement mortars are also put to use in ships, tanks and bunkers.

A huge devastating fire can leave a building completely burnt down, but if you use a cement mortar, this can be stopped, and can help you build a stronger foundation.
