Brick tile mortar or grout, this may seem like an odd subject but in reality it is one that causes some debate and confusion.<\/p>\n

Both mortar and grout are used extensively in both building work and tiling, as our products bridge these two areas of construction it is worth pointing \u201dmind the pun\u201d out the differences.<\/p>\n

The key similarity of these two products is that they fill the joint, and can look similar. This is where the products similarity ends, both are used for entirely different purposes.<\/p>\n

Mortar<\/h4>\n

Using brick, masonry and even brick tiles requires the individual units to be joined together. Traditional mortar and gun injection mortar does this. Workable and dense, mortar creates a solid and stable joint which when used with brick tiles is easy to point in using a gun injected mortar and a mortar pointing gun.<\/p>\n

\"reclaimed<\/p>\n

Grout<\/h4>\n

Grout is primarily used for manufactured tiles and engineered porcelain and ceramic products. Grout is a filler and is intended to flow into the joint. Most tiling applications allow for grout to be screeded into the joint and then the surface cleaned post screed.<\/p>\n
