Nationwide 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 to best produce and install new mortar in relation to its masonry veneer materials. Tested through a century of industry experience, this restoration technique returns the veneer to a structurally sound and watertight condition.

Repointing Services for Commercial Buildings Nationwide

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 with complex expertise and a skilled labor force, as most clients want long-lasting results.

Bond Façade Commercial Mortar

  • Lime Mortar
    • Lime mortar is often preferred for repointing historic or older buildings. It is more flexible and breathable than modern cement-based mortars, making it suitable for structures accommodating slight movements and moisture fluctuations.
  • Hydraulic Lime Mortar
    • In areas with higher exposure to moisture or harsher climates, hydraulic lime mortars are used. They have properties enabling them to set and harden even in damp conditions, providing improved water resistance.
  • Mortars with Additives
    • Some commercial repointing projects require special additives in the mortar mix to enhance specific characteristics, such as water repellency or improved workability.
  • Matching Mortar Color
    • Achieving an exact match of the mortar color is vital for preserving the visual appearance of the building during repointing. Our skilled artisans blend pigments and use color-matching technology to seamlessly blend with the original mortar.

Repointing for Historical Buildings Nationwide

Repointing for historical buildings is a specialized and delicate process involving restoring the mortar joints to preserve the historical and architectural integrity of the structure. Historical buildings nationwide have intricate masonry work and their restoration requires a deep understanding of traditional construction techniques and materials. With nearly a century of industry experience, Bond Façade has developed proprietary methods for expert restoration. 

 

Petrographic Tests for Mortar

As a third-generation commercial repointing company involved in construction materials testing, conducting petrographic tests for mortar is essential. Petrographic testing examines and analyzes the mineral composition, texture and overall quality of the mortar samples. This type of testing provides valuable insights into the properties and potential issues of the mortar, enabling us to assist our clients in long-lasting repointing work.
