Background: The 1923 headquarters of Bell Telephone in the town of Berlin, 48 Ontario St
N was later sold to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 50 in 1944 for $22,000. The Royal
Canadian Legion operated a dance floor, bar, club rooms, board room, and chapel on site
until 2001 when repairs became too costly it was sold to the City of Kitchener. Beginning
in the mid -80s, the site became known as the birthplace of Blues in Kitchener as it
became a popular stopover for major Blues bands travelling between Detroit and Toronto.
Restoration / Adaptation: The City of Kitchener sold the property to Voisin Capital Inc via
an RFP process in 2017. Voisin Capital commenced renovation and restoration of the
property in 2018 involving completely new building systems (electrical, mechanical,
plumbing), a new roof, new windows, and significant masonry restoration. Inside, lead
paint and asbestos tiles were remediated and the original brick walls and concrete
structural elements were exposed and sandblasted to restore their original beauty. Some
of the original conduits from Bell Telephone were exposed, encased in glass and lit by
LED, as an homage to the building's original use. The building has returned to its roots as
office space.

48 Ontario Street, Kitchener - Heritage Report
BUILDING CONFIDENCE
SRM Architects Inc. was retained by Voisin Capital Inc. to prepare a Heritage Report for consideration by the staff
at the City of Kitchener. The mandate of this report is to:
- Indicate understanding of the reasons for designation and heritage attributes of the designated property
- Provide a written description of all proposed work to complement drawings, photographs and other
supporting information
- Demonstrate how the proposed work is consistent with the designating by-law for individual properties
and Parks Canada's Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada.
Introduction
The former Royal Canadian Legion at 48 Ontario Street was purchased by our client, Voisin Capital Inc., and is part
of a $1 -million redevelopment project. The project will feature prime office space in the downtown and may
include a component of retail space. The redevelopment will include the restoration and preservation of the
heritage attributes of the designated property, which include the fagade, entrance frontispiece and grand
staircase. Built circa 1914 by the Bell Telephone Company, the building later became the home of the Royal
Canadian Legion, Branch 50. Both organizations have made significant contributions to the City's economic
development and have contributed to the area's inclusion in the inventory of Cultural Heritage Landscapes. The
redevelopment plans of 48 Ontario Street will allow the building to continue to serve as a prominent commercial
building within the downtown core.
Setting
The property is located at 48 Ontario Street North, Kitchener, Ontario. It is sited on the West side of Ontario
Street, within the block bounded by Duke Street West and King Street West. The lot is 0.10 -hectare (1/4 -acre)
and the existing two-storey building with full basement is sited on the south portion of the site, covering roughly
45% of the site. The remainder of the site is parking lot. The building is an example of the Classical Revival style
and includes brownstone decorative features that are rare to the Kitchener -Waterloo area.
The adjacent site to the south contains a one -storey brick commercial building with a combination flat roof and
cedar shake faux -mansard roof fronting on Ontario Street. On the adjacent north site, at the corner of Duke
Street West and Ontario Street North, stands a two-storey commercial building. The site across the street is the
city owned five -storey parking structure, the Duke Street Parking Garage which was built in 1968.
Building Details
The building is approximately (40m) 131' in length and 40' (12.3m) wide, with a narrower recessed portion at the
middle of its length, forming an overall 'C' shape. Two stairwells flank the north side of the building, and a feature
stairwell from street level to the main floor lobby is accessed off the Ontario Street entrance. The building is
primarily built of red brick in common bond. Brownstone decorative features include lintels, pilaster capitals and
bases, and entrance frontispiece. The foundation is brick and concrete.
The unadorned roof is flat and 'L' shaped, with the parapet extending up to separate the entrance portion from
the remainder of the building.

KITCHENER ON N2G 1131 519.885.5600 1 srmarchitects.ca
The entrance is surrounded by a brownstone frontispiece with a brick base. It could be assessed that the brick
base was added at a later time, to replace a damaged lower portion of the brownstone affected by snow and rain.
The brownstone frontispiece includes scroll brackets and entablature. The right side has recently been damaged
beyond repair by a vehicle accident. There are eleven tall windows along the East (Ontario Street) fagade, each
featuring brownstone lintels and sills. The windows are not original to the building and are fixed with single -pane
glazing or plywood. The basement windows have been bricked over. On either side of each window is a brick
pilaster with brownstone bases and capitals. A brownstone belt connects the four pilasters above the window
lintels. The entrance doorway, sidelight and transom are not original to the building.
The North Elevation is red and yellow brick and features fourteen segmentally -arched window openings with
triple brick -header voussoirs and concrete stills. The windows vary in size and sash type; one -over -one, four -over -
four sashes and fixed windows are evident. Three smaller square windows are provided within raised portion of
the second floor at the rear of the site, and one small rectangular window closer to the front of the site. There
are five segmentally -arched basement windows along this fagade with triple -brick header voussoirs and three
basement windows without headers. Portions of the yellow brick on the North Elevation have been painted red.
The South Elevation is red brick and has no openings. The West Elevation has two segmentally -arched window
openings with brick voussoirs and concrete sills.
Heritage Attributes
As listed in the City of Kitchener's Heritage Property Report - Statement of Significance' for the site, the heritage
attributes are:
"All building elevations and exterior features including:
- Red brick walls including basement level brick rustication and pilasters,
- All window openings, sills, lintels and brick voussoirs,
- All exterior door openings,
- Roof and roofline, and
- Decorative Brownstone features including:
■ Banding and belt courses,

Proposed Work
Windows and Doors
The dimensions of existing window and door openings will be maintained. All window units will be removed and
replaced with full height double -pane energy efficient fixed windows with graphite -coloured frames. The existing
units vary; some are original, some are not original to the building and some have been covered with plywood
board, converted to vents or bricked over entirely. It is the intent of the applicant to ensure replacement units
are in keeping with, or an improvement on, existing units. Where basement windows have been bricked over
along the Ontario Street facade, a masonry opening will be reintroduced to match the original opening.
The front entrance door is not original to the building. It will be replaced with a new prefinished graphite -
coloured aluminum door and frame that is in keeping with the quality and style of the existing unit. The colour
will match new windows. Remaining exterior doors will be removed and replaced with aluminum frame doors
with full glazing.

Partial North Elevation, showing existing doors and windows.
Three new windows are proposed for the North fagade, two of which will match the size and elevation of the two
existing windows located closest to Ontario Street on the same fagade. One new window is proposed between
the first -floor windows towards the rear of the site, to match the size and type of the two windows on either side.
A single existing wide, low opening on the North Elevation is proposed to be filled with matching, recessed brick.
It is currently filled in with wall showing exposed waterproofing. Please refer also to the elevation drawings for
more clarity. On the West fagade, two new windows are proposed, both on the second floor. The new window
openings will line up with the existing first floor window openings and the windows will match the size, type and
finish of the windows to be installed below.

Window Sills
Detail photo of East Elevation, existing
brownstone sills.
The first approach with regards to the existing brownstone window sills will be to clean and conserve where
appropriate and as recommended by a qualified mason having experience working with natural stone, using
recognized conservation methods appropriate for brownstone masonry to the satisfaction of heritage planning
staff. Where brownstone window sills have been determined by a qualified professional to have deteriorated
beyond repair, and upon approval by the Coordinator of Cultural Heritage Planning at the City of Kitchener, a
secondary approach will be employed. This approach would include replacing brownstone sills with tinted pre-
cast concrete sills to match the existing brownstone. It is anticipated that replacement sills will take two to three
years to develop a patina to match the existing sills. Brownstone is generally no longer seen as a well-suited sill
material for our harsh Canadian climate due to its high porosity, layered composition and susceptibility to water,
salt, air pollution and freeze -thaw cycling". Please also refer to the appendix for a preliminary review of
brownstone features conducted by Matt George, General Manager of G&B Masonry. Evaluation of the condition
of existing sills is limited due to Voisin Capital Inc. not being the current owner of the building, and ownership not
being transferred until a heritage permit has been approved. Where existing concrete sills are present, sills will
be cleaned and re -caulked. All new window openings will be provided with new pre -cast concrete sills to
complement replacement sills.

Roofing
The existing roof is in need of replacement and the existing parapet capping has deteriorated. The roof will be
stripped down to the deck layer and the deteriorated clay parapet capping will be removed. New insulation and
TPO membrane roof will be installed matching the existing roofline. This work will ensure the water -tightness of
the building and protection from the elements. New roof drains will be installed as advised by roofing contractor.
Parapet capping will be replaced with new black aluminum capping. The ornate roofline that runs along the
Ontario Street fagade will be replaced with a matching aluminum profile. The feasibility of installing new
skylights will be investigated as part of the structural review. These skylights will not be visible from the ground.
Evaluation of the condition of the existing roof structure is limited due to Voisin Capital Inc. not being the current
owner of the building, and ownership not being transferred until a heritage permit has been approved.

Masonry Work
Masonry work will not begin until the Coordinator of Cultural Heritage Planning at the City of Kitchener has met
with the masonry contractors. Access to exterior walls is limited, so full examination of upper floor mortar joints
will be completed at a later time. Along the Ontario Street East Elevation, brick facades will be cleaned and
restored to the original red brick colour. Along various portions of the elevations, lack of maintenance and
previous sandblasting has left mortar joints in poor condition. Where deemed necessary by a qualified masonry
contractor, mortar joints will be cleaned using the least invasive method and repointed with mortar type 'N' —
Betomix Plus (see appendix). Where the least invasive method (soapy water and brush) is not effective, an
alternative method will be put forth for approval by the Coordinator of Cultural Heritage Planning at the City of
Kitchener. No sand -blasting, water -blasting or invasive methods will be employed. Masonry units will be
replaced with complementary units where deterioration is too severe to salvage existing. The bricks that closely
match existing are Forterra Meridian Brick in "BU0147 - Williamsburg Red" and "BU1060 — Sundance Matte
Yellow". The bricked in window openings at the basement level are to be reinstated. This work is necessary to
ensure longevity of the walls and building envelope in the future. Paint was previously applied to the area above
the entrance and on portions of the North fagade. It is the owner's intent to restore the entrance area to match
the unpainted portions. The recessed portion of the North fagade, which was previously painted, will be painted
in a Benjamin Moore Heritage Colour: OC -96 Gentle Cream. Minor masonry repair will take place on the South
fagade. The base will be re-parged where required to maintain the integrity of the building envelope and protect
the exterior wall from the elements. New applied mortar will be stained as close as possible to the cleaned
existing colour. Exposed masonry wall exterior corners within the parking area will receive new metal corner
protectors to replace existing or missing corner protectors.

Brownstone Features
Existing brownstone banding, lintels, pilaster bases and capitals will remain. These features will be cleaned by a
qualified mason having experience working with natural stone, using a recognized conservation method
appropriate for brownstone masonry. This will include a gentle water wash with a non-ionic detergent. No
water -blasting or sand -blasting will be permitted. The main floor banding shows some signs of deterioration. The
first approach will be to clean and repair the banding. If it is deemed beyond repair by the qualified mason, the
second approach, upon approval by the Coordinator of Cultural Heritage Planning at the City of Kitchener, will be
replacement using pre -cast concrete matching the form, design and colour of the original brownstone features as
closely as possible.
The frontispiece that surrounds the entrance is in poor condition, with large portions missing or unsalvageable.
The first approach will begin with the investigation of replacing the missing right frame and scroll pieces with
matching brownstone pieces and repairing the cracked top portions. There are concerns with the feasibility of
finding a qualified professional to source and carve replacement brownstone pieces that would not be cost -
prohibitive. If the first approach is unfeasible as determined by a qualified professional, a secondary approach
will be submitted for approval by the Coordinator of Cultural Heritage Planning at the City of Kitchener. This
secondary approach will include replicating the missing brownstone pieces with colour -matched precast concrete.
This would ensure a long-lasting, visually identical replacement. If the secondary approach was considered, the
existing frontispiece will be studied and used as a mould to create the new formwork. The bottom masonry
section, which is expected to have originally been brownstone, will be replaced with a colour -matched precast
concrete replica using the existing formwork. The level of detail achieved by the new formwork will be as close as
possible to the existing, and an example photograph has been provided below for reference. It is anticipated that
new pre -cast units adjacent to existing brownstone will not be a perfect match, as the concrete will be subject to
weathering and will take on a matching patina with time.

Interior Heritage Attributes
The interior slate stair treads, stair risers, wooden handrails, metal balustrade and newel posts have been
identified as heritage attributes. During the redevelopment, these areas will be protected during the removal of
interior finishes, cleaned and restored. Prior to work commencing, the Coordinator of Cultural Heritage Planning
at the City of Kitchener will meet with contractors responsible for removal of existing interior fixtures.
Ground floor terrazzo floors will be restored using a strip, sand and reseal process. The paint finish will be
carefully removed from the existing metal stair guards and stringers. Rust will be removed and repairs will be
carried out before receiving a new paint finish. The stair riser molding will be repaired where possible and
replaced to match existing where missing or damaged. All risers will receive a new paint finish to match the
existing colour. Existing slate stair treads and landing on the ground floor level will be carefully cleaned. If
deemed necessary by tenants using the stairwell, a flexible anti -slip tape"' may be applied to tread nosings.
Wooden handrails to be prepared for new stain and clear coat finish. The basement stair and stair from the
ground floor to the second floor will be cleaned and refinished by a qualified professional using recognized
conservation methods appropriate for the type of construction, to the satisfaction of heritage planning staff.

Exterior Lighting
Exterior lighting will be installed to provide increased visibility. Up to ten surface -mount conduit wall packs will
be installed across the North fagade, as indicated on the elevation drawings.
Signage
The proposed exterior signage will be installed in the space immediately above the door, below the corbeling on
the Ontario Street North entrance. The sign will be LED backlit with push -through lettering. An example of this
type of signage can be seen at the owner's nearby property at 8 Queen Street, Kitchener. A separate sign permit
application will be submitted in accordance to the City of Kitchener's sign bylaw.
Tenant Signage
The proposed tenant signage will be installed in the recessed portion of the North fagade, in the space
immediately above the doors. Please refer to the Elevation drawings for more clarity.

Maintenance of Cultural Heritage Values
The former Bell/Legion building has been recognized for its design, physical, historical, associative and contextual
values. The work proposed in this report will not diminish these values and the methods proposed are in keeping
with the Part IV individual designating by-law of the City of Kitchener. The building's design and physical value
will be maintained, as the existing design and physical features will be conserved and repaired where appropriate
and as recommended by a qualified professional. The historical and associative value will not diminish with the
proposed work, as the building remains an important part of our cultural history and will continue to be
associated with the Bell Telephone Company and the Royal Canadian Legion. Its contextual value is unchanged,
as its location will remain within the historic commercial downtown area.
Heritage Conservation Principles
The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada was used as a resource in the
planning for conservation and interventions of this designated building. This approach will combine aspects of
the three approaches to conservation: preservation, rehabilitation and restoration. Rehabilitation was chosen as
the project's primary treatment to ensure integrity of the building envelope, improve energy efficiency and
enhance the building's appeal to future tenants while maintaining its heritage value. Within a rehabilitation
srM Architects Inc. Page 11 of 12
279 KING ST. W. SUITE 200 KITCHENER ON N2G 1B1 519.885.5600 1 srmarchitects.ca
approach, the continued use and appreciation of the building can continue without detriment to its heritage
value. In addition to the primary approach, preservation and restoration methods will be employed.
Preservation methods will be applied to certain heritage attributes that are in fair condition, such as the existing
brickwork, brownstone features around the windows, and existing window openings. Rehabilitation methods will
be applied to accurately represent and reinstate the missing frontispiece elements and deteriorated parapet caps.
Restoration methods will be applied where paint has been previously applied and bricked -in window openings
will be revealed. Maintenance plays a critical role in the conservation process, helping to preserve character
defining attributes and extending the life of a building. It is anticipated this redevelopment project, including the
rehabilitation of the designated building, will help compensate for years of neglect and ensure the building
continues to be recognized for its design, historical, associative and contextual values.
Conclusion
The site is recognized as a feature within the Downtown Cultural Heritage Landscape and as a designated building.
Its historical and associative values as home to the Royal Canadian Region and as the former site of the Bell
Telephone Company contribute to our understanding of our community's culture today. However, the building is
in disrepair and requires intervention. As outlined above, the proposed redevelopment includes the rehabilitation
of the building and approaches to preservation and restoration that will help ensure the building can continue to
serve as a prominent commercial site within Kitchener's downtown for many years to come.

Re: Sandstone Fagade Elements of 48 Ontario Street North, Kitchener
Dear Frank,
Thank you for giving my firm the opportunity to investigate the repair and replacement of the
sandstone components on the east facade of 48 Ontario Street North. We have reviewed the
photos that you supplied and visited the site to inspect the sandstone.
As you are aware, our firm has significant experience with heritage masonry restoration projects,
and in particular I will draw your attention to the following recent projects that involved
sandstone work:
1. New Apostolic Church 160 Margaret Ave Kitchener
2. New Apostolic Church 180 Lorraine Ave, Kitchener
3. St. Frances Church 49 Blueridge Ave, Kitchener
From our review of the sandstone features of 48 Ontario Street North, we observed that all of the
features are in varying stages of health, ranging from minimal decay to near complete failure and
certain items were damaged or are missing as a result of a vehicle strike last year.

GF±B Masonry
Masonry construction. Restoration. Service work & repairs.
I have highlighted the following categories in the photo of the fagade that you provided for
reference. See Appendix A.
Category 1. Minimal Decay
These items appear to have stood up well and are only slightly discoloured. We expect
these to continue for 10+ years without posing danger to pedestrians or risk of damage to
the building.
Recommendation: Ongoing monitoring.
Category 2. Moderate Decay / Chipping
These items are heavily discoloured and the edges feature missing chips. This is a
character of sandstone such that when it decays it quickly loses structural integrity and
returns to its component element of sand. Missing chips indicates the early stages of
structural failure. We expect these elements to decay rapidly over the coming years and
pose a danger to pedestrians and risk of damage to the building.
Recommendation: We recommend these elements be replaced with a different material
more appropriate to the local environment. You suggested pre -cast concrete colour
matched to the existing sandstone. We believe this is an excellent choice that will preserve
the visual component of the heritage features.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to patch any of the existing sandstone. Adding
new sandstone patch to the face of sandstone in this stage of failure will increase the
weight on the front face of the sandstone and exacerbate the issues of structural integrity.
Patching areas of the face will not stop deterioration behind. Cavities are forming and
adding extra weight stresses the sand around these cavities and will result in sudden
failure. We believe this will pose a serious risk to pedestrians.
We strongly recommend against replacing these components with new sandstone.
Sandstone is the wrong choice for this facade given the changes to the immediate vicinity
since the building was constructed. When this building was constructed, it is unlikely that
the structure across the street was as large as the current municipal parkade. The
consequence of the parkade being built at that scale and in that location is that the facade
of 48 Ontario Street North is shaded for the vast majority of each day. The consequence of
this shade is that the sandstone features are never given a sufficient opportunity to dry,
which has accelerated their failure. Replacing the failing sandstone with new sandstone
will necessitate regular ongoing replacement due to the lack of direct sunshine.

Category 3. Serious Decay / Existing Failure
These elements are heavily discoloured and have deep striations plainly visible on the
face. This is indicative of ongoing complete structural failure. Rain and snow with the
freeze -thaw cycle is eroding the sandstone and accelerating the return to the sand
components.
Recommendation: As for Category 2, we recommend these elements be replaced with a
different material more appropriate to the local environment. This work should be done
immediately given the advanced stage of failure.
Category 4. Missing / Damaged Items
These items are not available for review because this area is hoarded off. We have only
reviewed photos of the area pre- and post -damage.
Recommendation: We recommend these elements be replaced with a different material
more appropriate to the local environment
We hope this provides you with some insight based on our experience. We appreciate the
opportunity to work with you on any component of the above. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,
Matt George

1- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 USE
Betomix Plus is a mortar based on GU hydraulic
cement, type S hydrated lime and well -graded
sand It also contains an air entraining agent
and colourants (optional). Betomix Plus type N
was developed to meet the properties described
in table 6 of CSA A 179-04 standard for a type
N mortar. B6tomix Plus is principally used for
the installation or jointing of masonry elements.
For interior and exterior use, it is ideal for
the installation of brick (clay, concrete or
calcium silicate), concrete blocks or stones
(limestone, grant or sandstone). It can also
be used as a parging mix to cover foundations.
1.2 ADVANTAGES
Use of a calibrated mortar ensures quality
of the raw materials used especially for the
sand that is free of any contaminants such
as plants. It also provides control of the
sand gradation and the final composition
of the mortar such as the cement/lime/sand
proportions.
1.3 LIMITATIONS
1.3.1 Betomix Plus must be used only for
vertical applications.
1.3.2 This mortar is exclusively developed
for the installation of above ground, non-
loadbearing walls.
1.3.3 Any modification of the mortar
composition is forbidden and automatically
cancels the warranty.
1.3.4 Addition of additive and/or admixture
of any nature such as set accelerators,
retarders, antifreeze agents, waterproofing
agents, polymers (latex) or else, is
forbidden.
Technical data sheet
#15.01, Betomix Plus type N, February 2012, page #1
Be"tomix Plus
type N
1.3.5 Only addition of colourants' is allowed
although not recommended.
1.3.6 Ifthere is any doubt on the compatibility
of Betomix Plus with the materials used
in a specific job, consult our technical
representatives and/or our technical service.
1.3.7 It is recommended to verify the
adhesion between Betomix Plus and the
element used before starting any work. This
precaution is necessary due to the diversity
of masonry elements on the market.
1.3.8 Betomix Plus was not formulated to
perform repointing since a stiffer mortar is
required resulting in a considerable reduction
of mixing water used. This reduction would
quantitatively modify final properties of the
mortar.
2- INSTALLATION
2.1 FIELD CONDITIONS
2.1.1 Make sure the temperature (surface,
surrounding and material) is between
5°C (40°F) and 35°C (95°F), during the
application and for the following 48 hours.
2.1.2 Never apply mortar on frozen
elements.
2.2 SURFACE PREPARATION
2.2.1 Refer to the technical data sheet
of the element for special installation
requirements.
2.3 MIXING
2.3.1 MIXING IN SMALL QUANTITY (I BAG)
2.3.1.1 Pour 4.0 litres (0.9 gallon) of potable
water in a clean container (20 L pail).
' The quality and quantity of colourant used should respect ASTM C-979 standard
Division 4
Note: The suggested amount of 4.0 litres
of water per bag is a mixing starting point.
The mason will then adjust the consistency
according to the nature and conditions of the
job.
2.3.1.2 Slowly add dry ingredients while
mixing with a drill equipped with a mixer
attachment such as a Jiffier. Use a drill with
at least 1/2 in capacity.
2.3.1.3 Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes and
a maximum of 5 minutes. Adjust consistency
by adding water without excess.
2.3.1.4 Let the product rest for 2 to 5 minutes
and then remix for 1 additional minute.
Note: Never mix less than one bag.
2.3.2 MIXING IN LARGE QUANTITIES
2.3.2.1 Use a mortar mixer of appropriate
size (mixer should be 3/4 full). Start mixer.
Introduce water; 4.0 litres ( 0.9 gallon) per
30 kg (66 lb) bag.
Note: Always mix full units
2.3.2.2 Slowly add dry ingredients and
follow mixing instructions as per 2.3.1.3.
2.4 APPLICATION
2.4.1 Spread a uniform coat of mortar.
Apply mortar on one end of the element and
position it. Using a level, set the element in
the bedding mortar with small, sharp taps.
Fill all the joints. Do not realign elements
once they have been in contact with mortar.
Note: Mortar should be used within 1 '/2 hour
following mixing if temperature is higher or
equal to 25°C (77°F). If temperature is lower
than 25°C (77°F), use within 2 % hours.
Discard unused mortar.
Section 04 05 12: Masonry mortar
2.5 FINISHING
2.5.1 All mortar joints must be finished using
a metal or plexiglass tool to provide the
required look as well as weather resistance.
2.5.2 Finishing must be done just before
the mortar looses its plasticity, when
finger pressure barely leaves any traces.
It is impossible to set a specific time, it is
necessary to rely on the mason's judgment.
2.6 PROTECTION AND CURING
2.6.1 Protect from freezing (temperature
over 5°C, 40°F) and rain for the first 48
hours.
2.6.2 In hot weather, protect from sun and
wind to avoid rapid water evaporation of
mortar.
2.6.3 Protect finished work with plastic
sheeting to avoid mortar spots.
2.7 CLEANING
2.7.1 Clean tools with water while mixture
is not yet hardened. Once hard, only
mechanical cleaning will be efficient.
2.7.2 During application, remove mortar
spots with jute (burlap).
2.7.3 Consult the element manufacturer or
a cleaning specialist before any cleaning
step is initiated. It is important to preserve
mortar's integrity. Let the mortar dry for 28
days prior to initiate cleaning. Avoid high
pressure washing and sandblasting.

by several application conditions such as:
- waiting time before finishing is done
(tooling).
- variable humidity content of the elements.
- lack of protection during installation or job
interruption.

'Laboratory prepared sample of 136tomix Plus will meet CSA A 179-04 property specifications for a type N mortar when mixed
to a flow of 100 to 115%.
2 Average value obtained during quality control analysis. Results may vary from this value but will always meet CSA A179-04
standard as described in t.
3 Results obtained in laboratory controlled conditions with a standard sample mixed to a flow of 100 to 115%. These results may
vary slightly from one sample to the other and are used as a performance indicator of the mortar. These results cannot be used
for the acceptation or rejection of a mortar bag.
4 Test executed according to Procedure A of ASTM C -666M standard.
Note: As mentioned in Table 6 of CSAA179-04 standard, the compressive strength of a mortar prepared at the job site should
correspond to about two -third the resistance obtained by the same mortar prepared in laboratory.
