FAQs

What are the dimensions of each brick?

The product is 65mm in size.

Can these bricks be used for load-bearing walls?

Yes, these bricks are suitable for load-bearing walls when laid following proper building practices and regulations.

How do I calculate the number of bricks needed?

Calculate the surface area of the wall and consider the brick dimensions and mortar joint size to determine the number of bricks required. It is always best to order a small surplus.

What type of mortar should I use?

Use a mortar mix appropriate for the brick type and local building codes. A general-purpose mortar mix is usually suitable.

How should I store the bricks before use?

Store the bricks on a flat, dry surface, protected from the elements. Cover them with a tarp if stored outside.

Are these bricks frost resistant?

What is the expected lifespan of these bricks?

With proper installation and maintenance, these bricks can last for many decades, often exceeding the lifespan of the building itself.

Troubleshooting

Bricks appear to be absorbing too much water after laying.

Ensure the bricks are pre-wetted before laying to prevent excessive moisture absorption from the mortar. Also, check the mortar mix for the correct water-cement ratio.

Efflorescence (white salt deposits) appearing on the brick surface.

Efflorescence is common. It usually disappears with time and weathering. You can also gently brush it off with a dry brush, or if needed, consult a professional for cleaning solutions specifically designed for brick.
