Larsen supplied two products from their high performance Streetscape Eco range: GPM (Gun Pointable Mortar) and FJM (Flowable Jointing Mortar). These products assisted with the external stone paving.
Larsen’s Chemcrete MP550 was added to the concrete to form the columns and beams. Chemcrete MR1 and ME2 were used in the bricklaying mortar for the brick walls.
