Mortar joint

A mortar joint is the filled space between stones or masonry units.

A mortar joint is the filled space between stones, brick, or masonry units. Joint width, depth, and tooling profile affect both appearance and weather resistance. For exterior masonry in Chester County, raked or slightly concave joints shed water better than flush joints and hold up to freeze-thaw.
