Colour Mortar
As well as natural grey, Northstone produces a range of coloured mortars to complement the specifer's choice of block or brick. The colours used are based on synthetic iron oxide pigments made to British and European standards and are guaranteed durable.
C1, C2, C3
The Northstone Mortar colour range is shown opposite (see notes below for more guidance on colours)
The pigments are pre-weighed in water-soluble bags which are added to our specially designed 'Colouranger' ancilliary mixer which is attached to the rear of the delivery truck. This mixes consistent coloured mortar by the tub enabling the customer to enjoy the flexibility of getting plain and coloured mortar from the same delivery.
Notes on Colour Chart
Our coloured mortars are identified using a simple system with the codes for each colour noted on the chart opposite. Each colour is available in three shades, for example Charcoal mortar comes in shades C1, C2, C3; light brown mortar in shades LB1, LB2, LB3 and so on. The standard shade for each colour is the number '3' hence these are the shades shown in the chart. Like all such charts, these colours are to be used for guidance only and we would recommend that sample brick/blockwork panels are built using our coloured mortars before final selection is made. Northstone are happy to provide, free of charge, sample bags of coloured mortar for the construction panels at any stage of the specification or construction process. To avail of this service please contact our Mortar depot in Dunmurry on 028 9055 1353.
