What is Tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing is a masonry repair technique that is performed to enhance the appearance of mortar joints between bricks or stones. It involves the removal of deteriorated or damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh material that matches the color of the original mortar.
The term “tuckpointing” originates from the process of “tucking” or pressing new mortar into the joints using a thin blade or pointing tool.
Tuckpointing not only strengthens the structure by restoring the integrity of the mortar joints, but it also enhances the aesthetic appeal of the masonry by providing a clean, uniform appearance. This technique is commonly used in the maintenance and restoration of brick buildings, chimneys, walls, and other masonry structures.
