Mortar joint
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mortar joints refer to the space in between brick, concrete block, or glass block that is filled with grout. Mortar joints can be made in a series of different fashions, but the most common ones are Raked, Grapevine, Extruded, Concave, V, Struck, Flush, Weathered and Beaded.
In order to produce a mortar joint, the mason must use one of several types of jointers (slickers), rakes, or beaders. These tools are run through the grout in between the building material before the grout is solid and create the desired outcome the mason seeks.
