AMR Pre-Matched Mortar

What is Pre-Matched Mortar?

• Pre-Matched Mortars are bags of mortar mix pre-matched and packaged for your specific project providing an exact mortar match.

How are Mortars matched?

• These mortars are matched through a lab analysis that determine color of mortar color and gradation of sand, and relative crushing pressures of the samples tested.

• This process requires 2-3 samples.

What is it for?

• Repairing areas of cracked or damaged mortar.

Why do I need Pre-Matched Mortar?

• Pre-Matched Mortars are matched by professionals and ensure a proper match for your project.

• These mortars are analyzed to determine crushing pressure, mortar color, and the color and grade of the sand used.

Why are these important?

Crushing Pressure-

• Use of a mortar that is too soft can result in rapid deterioration or may not be strong enough to carry the load of weight above it.

• Use of mortar that is too hard can cause damage to the bricks, prevent proper bonding to the original mortar, or prevent a masonry structure from being able to breathe properly causing mold or other damage.

Color of mortar-

• The various colors and tones in mortar must be matched in order to make the repairs disappear. These colors start with the tone of grey to white and then dyes or stains must be matched.

Color and grade of sand-

• The color and grade of the sand will affect the tones found in the mortar and the way that dyes are absorbed. In addition, the size of the aggregates will affect the texture of the mortar and performance of mortars. If a mortar match doesn't contain proper sand gradation, it may not match the visual appearance of the original.

What makes AMR Pre-Matched Mortars different?

• AMR Mortars come in a smaller more usable portion, and because it is pre-matched there is no need to adjust the color. These two factors make AMR Mortar better because there is no need to break the ratios within them. They are pre-matched.

• All other products available come in Grey and White, and come in 70 pound bags. These 70 pound bags require full package use to maintain proper ratios, but require adjustment to match color tones which will break their ratios.

• Pre-Matched Mortars are available for order online or through many local supply warehouses.

Alamo Certified Mortar Matching - The First Step to Quality Repairs

Each formula is guaranteed to match (within a reasonable tone) in the color to the samples provided from your home. Mold and Mildew may need to re-grow in the pores to complete the match. This part of natural aging we cannot recreate because these tones vary around your home and change throughout the year.

Most mortar matches are not visible immediately upon drying.
