Long-Term Performance Benefits

LBS Finishing Mortar is a pre bagged finishing mortar engineered to deliver lasting application performance and durability across structural waterproofing systems.

Key benefits include:

• Consistent Protection Across Environments: This special mortar performs reliably when used internally and externally on concrete, brick and structural blockwork, maintaining its water-repellent properties on wall, floors and soffits over the long term.
• Lower Maintenance Over Time: With minimal hydraulic shrinkage and stable adhesion, the finishing mortar helps reduce ongoing repair needs, lowering lifecycle costs across the full waterproofing system.
• Warranty-Backed Assurance: Projects completed by Licata approved applicators benefit from our 10 and 25-year warranty, giving you confidence in every waterproofing system installed to our specification.

Surface Preparation and Application

Proper surface preparation is essential for optimum application performance. Substrates should be clean and free from loose material before the mortar is applied. Use water blasting techniques or wire brushing to remove surface contaminants and expose coarse aggregate where required. The finishing mortar can be applied to wet substrates, making it suitable for ground structures and areas affected by rising damp or standing water.

LBS Finishing Mortar is supplied as a pre bagged structural waterproofing solution and quality controlled system containing specially graded aggregates and cements with waterproofing admixtures, packaged at the appropriate mix ratios. Simply add clean water and mix to the recommended consistency. This removes the need to measure individual multicoat components for the structural application on site, ensuring consistent results and reducing application time.
