The drying process of mortar in construction projects is influenced by environmental conditions, mortar composition, and application thickness. Factors like temperature and humidity affect drying time. Cement-based mortars dry faster than lime-based ones. Thicker layers take longer to dry. It is crucial to choose the right mortar type and thickness for optimal drying. While mortar may appear dry to the touch within hours, complete drying and achieving maximum strength can take weeks. Protecting the mortar during this period is essential for long-term durability. Understanding these factors ensures successful construction outcomes.
