Commercial Brick and Stone Repointing
Bond Façade’s craftsmen are experts in matching new mortar joints with existing or adjacent mortar in color, texture and density. We perform petrographic tests on existing mortar to determine its compressive strength in order to best produce and install new mortar in relation to its masonry veneer materials. Properly executed, this restoration technique returns the veneer to a structurally sound and watertight condition.
Repointing Services for Commercial Buildings
The mortar used for repointing is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it must be carefully selected based on various factors such as climate and environmental conditions. Different regions experience varying weather patterns, temperature fluctuations and levels of moisture. It’s important to hire an experienced commercial repointing company for this reason, as most clients want the results to be long-lasting.
