Mortar range improvements (2nd May)

A number of significant changes have been made to Heidelberg Materials Cement's sand, cement mortar range all aimed at providing customers with a better quality product.

Its standard bricklaying mortar has been upgraded from M5 to M6 category and is CE Marked, with independent third party accreditations to British Standards.

The M6 range now comes in a 5kg plastic bag, rather than paper. And with smaller house builders in mind a new product - an M12 mortar has been launched; as it comes in bags it dispenses with the need for on-site silos and is packed in a new orange bag to avoid confusion with other mortar products.
