King 2-1-9 Cream

KING 2-1-9 CREAM is a pre-mixed, pre-bagged, Type S mortar specially formulated to be used laying brick, natural stone, concrete blocks and other masonry products, when a higher compressive strength is required. This mortar is a blend of white Portland Cement, Type S hydrated lime, an air entraining agent, and sand with controlled grain size. KING 2-1-9 CREAM mortar complies with Table 6 of CSA-A179-14 for Type S mortar with addition of water on-site. This product is cream in colour, but may be coloured in the factory or field using KING’s exclusive Colour Plus System.

Brick or Stone Concrete

Concrete brick units often have a low absorption rate. Therefore in order to reflect this characteristic, it is not uncommon for the mason to adjust the required amount of water.

Granite Stone Facing

Installation of any exterior facing is particularly important, since the facing is the first defence against water infiltration. One of the roles of mortar is to effectively manage rainwater flowing over the facing.

Concrete Blocks Indoor

The type of mortar to be used for installing concrete blocks indoors depends on the type of application. Since there will be no rainwater to manage, lime mortars are not necessary.

Exterior Chimney

The elements that make up an exterior chimney are subject to a high level of saturation. Furthermore, installation of any exterior facing is particularly important, since the facing is the first defence against water infiltration.

Concrete Block Foundation

Concrete block elements, which make up a buried foundation wall, are generally exposed to a high level of saturation. For this type of application, standard CSA A 179-14 recommends using a Type S Mortar, at a minimum.

Natural Stone Foundations

The natural stone elements that make up a buried foundation wall are generally exposed to a high level of saturation. For this type of application, standard CSA A 179-14 recommends using a Type S Mortar, at a minimum.

Parapet

Elements that compose an outdoor parapet are subject to a high level of saturation since the front, back and top are exposed to the elements.

Construction of a Retaining Wall

Since it takes less energy to manufacture lime than Portland Cement, it is always preferred from an environmental standpoint to use a lime mortar.

Retaining Walls

In addition to usually being exposed to de-icing salts, retaining walls, just like chimneys and parapets, are often exposed to elements such as wind and rain. Furthermore, they are exposed to a large number for freeze-thaw cycles without much protection.

Walls Built From 1975 to Today

Walls built between 1975 and today are generally constructed from a steel or wooden structure to which a masonry facade is attached. These walls are often built using a mortar containing masonry cement or a pure lime and Portland cement based mortar.

Repointing Stairs

Stairs are generally made from granite stone. Granite is a very dense material which makes it difficult to absorb water contained in fresh mortar. Because of this, the bond between mortar and masonry could be affected.
