In marine environments use exposure-grade units, a sealed joint (flush or rolled) and an approved damp-proof course for maximum protection.
An adequate DPC, correctly installed above ground level, is essential to protect brickwork from ground salts and moisture.
Clay is a natural product; colour varies within and between batches. Order all product together for consistency and blend from several packs as you lay.
All concrete masonry shrinks over time; allow for this in design. For unreinforced walls, incorporate control joints at centres not exceeding 6 metres (AS 3700).
M3 (non-saline): 1 cement : 1 lime : 6 sand. M4 (saline/exposure): 1 cement : 0.5 lime : 4.5 sand. Sand source affects final mortar colour — discuss with your builder.
Use correct cleaning methods; excessive acid can permanently stain brickwork. Brick cleaning should be carried out by a trained professional. For project supply across the state, see our bricks supplier in Western Australia notes.
