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.
Consumption figures and mixing ratios should be regarded as guidelines, as they can vary depending on the substrate, layer thickness and working method. It is always recommended to ensure that the choice of materials and execution comply with current standards and good building practice. When you order from us, we deliver directly to your address with the option of both crane and forklift. This makes it easier to place the materials where they are needed and saves time in the work process.
