Mortar is Important!
What color mortar should you choose? With all the hustle and bustle of building a home or other masonry project, mortar color is often overlooked - seen as an unimportant afterthought. Nothing could be further from the truth! The mortar you choose will have a dramatic impact on your eyes’ perception of the color palette of your brick, stonework, and your entire project.
This photo taken during the construction of a home captures the enormous effect of mortar color. Freshly lain, wet mortar is considerably darker than it will appear once it has dried and cured. You can see that the bottom several layers of brick in this picture (where the mortar is drying and lighter colored) look quite different than the top (where the mortar is still fresh and damp), even though it is the same brick throughout.
Mortar comes in a wide range of colors, and it’s vital that you select a mortar color that will suit the needs of your project’s design. A complimentary mortar color will help to smooth out the color palette, whereas a contrasting color can really make your brick or stonework pop!
