What is Joint Mortar?
In ancient times, construction used lime. Over time, cement and steel became the main materials. The construction industry has evolved, bringing new technologies for better quality and workmanship.
Originally, masonry work used stones, bricks, and concrete blocks. Today, we use lightweight AAC blocks. Similarly, just as lime was replaced by cement and sand, we now use lightweight joint mortar for better construction.
