What is the best way to apply the mortar?
The most efficient and ergonomic way to process adhesive mortar is by machine using an adhesive pump. This way it goes faster and the best work is delivered. An alternative processing method is manual processing using a piping bag.
Thin bricklaying or gluing?
Gluing is of much better quality than thin bricklaying. Thin-brick mortar is usually chosen when one wants to apply the mortar with a trowel (i.e. in the traditional way). As a result, the joint will be thicker than with adhesive mortar (often 6-8 mm). The yield will also be lower when laying thin bricks with a trowel than when gluing with a piping bag or pump. Because the mortar consumption is higher, the excess mortar must be scraped out and the facade must be brushed. Practical experience has taught us that gluing is faster and also produces better and better quality work. In addition, much more is technically possible with glue, because the adhesive mortar is much stronger.
Which stones can be glued?
Every facing brick can be glued. Hand molded, molded box or extruded press. For stones with different tolerances, the joint is usually slightly thicker (6 mm). Smooth stones require tight joint lines, but larger tolerances of the stone are sometimes referred to as “living joints”.
