Why Signature White™ Is Different
Most white mortars available through big box stores and masonry suppliers were developed for general masonry construction. German Smear requires a different approach.
Signature White™ was engineered from the ground up with the specific needs of German Smear in mind.
Proprietary Ultra Fine Aggregate Blend
Signature White™ features a specially engineered blend of ultra fine aggregates that create a remarkably smooth and creamy consistency.
This unique formulation allows the mortar to spread more easily, feather more naturally, and create the authentic textures that define high quality German Smear finishes.
Extended Working Time
German Smear is an artistic process that requires time to manipulate, texture, and perfect the finish.
Specialized additives within Signature White™ provide increased working time compared to many traditional mortars, allowing installers to achieve the desired appearance without feeling rushed by the material.
Bright White Finish
The clean white base color of Signature White™ creates the ideal foundation for authentic German Smear applications.
The consistent coloration allows for predictable results across fireplaces, accent walls, chimneys, and full home exteriors.
Engineered for Workability
Signature White™ was developed to deliver a buttery smooth consistency that minimizes drag during application while maintaining the body and structure necessary to achieve a wide range of German Smear styles.
The result is greater control, easier application, and a more enjoyable installation experience.
Designed for Professional Results
Every component of Signature White™ was developed based on real world installation experience.
The formulation reflects years of testing, refinement, and field application on projects throughout the United States.
This is not a repackaged commodity mortar.
This is a purpose built German Smear mortar created by professionals who perform German Smear installations every day.

Featuring thicker walls and enhanced durability, this bucket is built to handle the rigors of mixing Signature White™ mortar project after project.
