Apt have launched the Pointmaster range of Bricklayers tools.

The POINTMASTER will form precise mortar "JOINTING" as the works proceed, governed by the wheels running on the face of the bricks, giving a consistent trowel action and pressure that helps create consistent mortar colouring of even mortar mixes, when the mortar is at its green state (is partially set but pliable). APT's Pointmaster high tensile stainless steel half round irons are used to create far superior, precise and evenly compressed mortar joints which helps add structural strength and minimise water ingress. When the mortar has relatively dried, lightly brush the face of the brickwork, blockwork or paving, with a fine brush to a clean complete finish. It's worth noting that APT can manufacture any type of finishing iron to order.


POINTMASTER

• Allows the bricklayers-mate to achieve perfect jointing, leaving the "bricklayer" free to lay bricks.

• Complies with the British Codes of Practice 111 : 1970 and 121 : 1973 (10mm width joints).

• Quickly creates compressed ironed sealed mortar joints to a consistent form and depth.

• Helps prevent the 'blowing' of joints and efflorescence, by sealing the mortar to the bricks.

• Greatly reduces ingress of water, so helps stop resulting frost damage.

• Adds structural strength of wall.

• Enhances cosmetic appearance of wall.

• Minimises colour variation in lime base mortars.

• Allows the DIY enthuiast to achieve professional results in pointing.

The Pointmaster range is available online and throughout the UK and Ireland.
