Bedding Mortar
At Maxibag.dk we sell high-quality bedding mortar that you can use for your building projects. Bedding mortar is washed sand (0-4 mm) mixed with 6.6% burnt lime, and it is used for many different purposes. Bedding mortar is incredibly strong and is ideal for many types of masonry work, e.g. general bricklaying, facing walls, cornices, window sills and rough rendering.
We offer bedding mortar with 5.1% and 6.6% lime. Both types are available in 4 different sizes, which you can choose from below. All mortar is delivered in bulk bags, and we deliver throughout Denmark. You can also buy cement together with our mortar, so everything is delivered at the same time.
Remember that we can deliver with both a forklift and a crane, making the job as easy as possible.

How to mix bedding mortar
When mixing mortar, it is important that it is mixed really well. It is therefore a great advantage to borrow or hire a mixer/cement mixer for the job. For smaller quantities, a large mortar bucket can be used, but it must be stirred thoroughly.
It is always a good idea to put a little water in the mixer first. Now add bedding mortar, cement (in a suitable quantity) and water, and let it mix for a while. You can gradually add water until you reach a workable consistency.
How much cement you need to add can vary depending on your project. The typical ratio, however, is 1:8 (1 part cement / 8 parts mortar). This gives you a mix that works for most purposes.
What can bedding mortar be used for?
Bedding mortar is often used for traditional masonry work where a classic lime-based mortar with good workability is required. It is typically used for bricklaying, smaller structures and various types of masonry where there are no special structural requirements beyond normal practice.
The composition of the mortar makes it suitable for both new builds and renovation work, depending on the nature of the project. By adding cement, the mix can be adapted to the specific job, but it is always recommended to assess the requirements in relation to current standards and the type of construction.
In special conditions, e.g. exposed façades or specific structural requirements, it may be relevant to consider alternative types of mortar. Here you can, for example, take a closer look at our finishing mortar, which is typically used for plastering work and finer surfaces. The entire range can be found in the category mortar, where the different types are gathered.
Practical delivery and use
Bedding mortar from Maxibag is delivered in bulk bags, making it suitable for both larger and smaller building projects. This form of delivery can make handling easier compared with many small units, depending on the working conditions on site.
As building projects vary in scope and construction, consumption and mixing ratios cannot be determined definitively. The ratio between cement and mortar should be adapted to the specific job and the type of masonry. If in doubt about the choice of mortar or mixing ratio, it is recommended to consult a professional or follow current guidelines.
Bedding mortar is available with different lime percentages, and the choice depends on the type of masonry you are working with. A lower lime percentage gives slightly different workability than a higher one, and this can affect curing time and strength. It is therefore important to choose the variant that suits the job.
