THE PERFECT COLORED MORTAR
FOR BRICK, BLOCK & STONE
The consistency and quality of SPEC MIX® Colored Mortar
has successfully met thousands of project specifications across
North America for over 20 years. We've proven that coloring mortar
accurately and consistently is only achieved by weighing all mortar
constituents, including high quality pigments and dry masons sand
that are preblended using precise batching systems. With SPEC MIX
colored mortar options are endless and consistent from batch
to batch—EVERY TIME!
