Brick Pointing
If you’ve built a building using masonry, you know that eventually you’ll need to do some repairs. Most people choose stonework because it’s strong and can stand the test of time, but weather and shifting can cause it to deteriorate over time. Of all the maintenance tasks you can do (or hire an expert to do), “pointing” is probably the most popular.
What is brick pointing?
Brick pointing happens when a new brick is installed; it involves filling in mortar joints to complete them during the construction process. Unless you’re constructing a brand new building, you’re unlikely to need help with pointing. Repointing, on the other hand, involves removing and replacing existing mortar. It’s a more complex process that requires professional supervision. Tuckpointing Unlike repointing, tuckpointing involves more than just replacing mortar.
