Finishing mortar - Delivered in bulk bags

Finishing Mortar

At Maxibag.dk we sell high-quality finishing mortar/plastering mortar that you can use for your building projects. Finishing mortar is a fine washed sand (0-2 mm) mixed with 7.7% burnt lime, and it is mainly used for finishing work (e.g. plastering walls). Finishing mortar is also used for repointing brick walls after raking out the old joints.

We offer finishing mortar 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 much mortar do I need?

It is difficult to give a completely precise answer as to how much mortar you need for a job. It naturally also depends on what you are using the finishing mortar for.

However, the following rules of thumb apply:

Fine rendering of walls: Approx. 200 litres of mortar per 100 m²
Rough rendering of walls: Approx. 1700 litres of mortar per 100 m²
Repointing: 400 litres of mortar per 100 m²

We deliver finishing mortar in the following sizes

How to mix finishing 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 finishing 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.

Uses of finishing mortar

Finishing mortar is typically used for plastering work and finer surface treatments where a more uniform texture is desired. The fine sand fraction makes it suitable for jobs such as fine rendering and repointing, depending on the condition of the masonry and the requirements of the project.

In renovation work where existing joints are replaced, finishing mortar is often used as part of the process after raking out. The actual consumption and choice of mixing ratio do, however, depend on the scope of the job, the condition of the masonry and the desired properties of the finished surface.

For more structural jobs requiring a coarser type of mortar, bedding mortar may be an alternative. You will find the entire range in the category mortar, where the individual types can be compared.

Quality and flexible delivery from Maxibag

Finishing mortar is delivered in bulk bags, which can be practical for projects with a large material consumption. The final use and mix should be adapted to the specific requirements of the project.

Hvad bruger man strandmørtel til?

Strandmørtel anvendes primært til pudsearbejde og opmuring, hvor der ønskes en jævn og glat overflade. Den egner sig særligt godt til indendørs projekter eller steder, hvor en finere finish er vigtig. Strandmørtel er lavet af finkornet strandsand, hvilket gør den nem at arbejde med og perfekt til opgaver som pudsning af vægge og sokler. Hos maxibag tilbyder vi strandmørtel i praktiske bigbags, så du hurtigt og effektivt kan komme i gang med dit projekt.

Hvad er forskellen på strandmørtel og bakkemørtel?

Forskellen ligger især i sandtypen. Strandmørtel består af strandsand, som er finkornet og afrundet, mens bakkemørtel er lavet af grovere, kantet bakkesand. Det betyder, at strandmørtel er mere smidig og nem at arbejde med til pudseopgaver, mens bakkemørtel er stærkere og mere velegnet til tungere opgaver som opmuring. Hos maxibag finder du begge typer, så du kan vælge ud fra dit behov.

Hvor meget cement skal der i strandmørtel?

Mængden af cement afhænger af, hvad du skal bruge mørtlen til. Til almindelige pudseopgaver anbefales typisk 1 del cement til 4 dele strandsand. Skal du bruge strandmørtlen til opmuring, kan blandingsforholdet være 1:3 for at sikre højere styrke. Hos maxibag kan du både få tør strandmørtel og færdigblandet mørtel, så du selv kan vælge, hvor meget cement der skal til.

Kan man bruge strandmørtel uden cement?

Strandmørtel skal som udgangspunkt blandes med cement for at få styrke og sammenhængskraft. Uden cement vil sandet ikke binde ordentligt, og det vil derfor ikke kunne anvendes til opmuring eller pudsning med holdbart resultat. Hos maxibag anbefaler vi, at du altid tilsætter cement i det rette blandingsforhold for at sikre en stærk og stabil mørtelblanding.

Er strandmørtel velegnet til udendørs brug?

Strandmørtel kan bruges udendørs, men det kræver, at du blander den med cement i et passende forhold og beskytter overfladen godt efterfølgende. På grund af strandsandets runde korn er vedhæftningen ikke lige så kraftig som med bakkemørtel, hvilket gør strandmørtel mindre ideel til udsatte områder. Skal mørtlen bruges til facader eller sokler, anbefaler vi hos maxibag, at du overvejer bakkemørtel eller en mørtel med ekstra vedhæftningsegenskaber.
