RECOMMENDED SITE PRACTICE

As protection against inclement weather, bricks arriving on site should be stored in a clean dry place and covered. Newly built brickwork must also be covered in order to prevent the possibility of efflorescence and the washing out of mortar joints. Where a recessed joint is specified the maximum recommended depth is 5mm to deter water penetration.

It is important to mix from at least 3 packs concurrently to avoid any possible colour banding. Colours shown are a representation and final brick selection should be made from product samples.

It is an important consideration when constructing or specifying bricks to be used in positions liable to be saturated and frozen e.g. parapet walls, boundary walls, retaining walls, cappings, copings and cills, that these bricks need to be suitable for use and constructed in accordance with good building practice.
