What is "mortar"?
Mortar is a soft mixture made from materials like sand, water, and a binder such as cement or lime. It is used to hold bricks, stones, or other building materials together, filling gaps and creating a strong, stable bond. Once it dries and hardens, it also provides additional strength to the structure and helps protect against water and air penetration. Mortar is commonly used in walls, foundations, and other masonry work.
