Application

Suitable for applications such as:

  • To adjust course heights in blockwork.
  • Used above and below dpc.
  • In conjunction with block.
  • Can be used above and below ground up to sulphate condition DS2.

Description

Dense Common Bricks are designed to be used for all types of construction above and below damp proof course level, independently or in conjunction with dense aggregate blocks.


The aggregates used in the manufacturing process provide density, strength and thermal conductivity values, which are compatible with the majority of dense concrete blocks.


In addition to their ability to withstand repeated cycles of attack from rain and frost, good quality dense concrete bricks age hardens, and throughout independently controlled laboratory experiments, the bricks passed the most rigorous freeze-thaw tests designed to establish the durability classification for masonry.


Colour and finish may vary depending on the supplying works. Colour and texture cannot be guaranteed.


Features and benefits:

  • May be solid or frogged.
  • Manufactured and tested in accordance with BS EN 771-3: 2011; Specification for Masonry Units: Aggregate Concrete Masonry Units.
