and relatively maintenance free.
EXPANSIVE RANGE
Brick’s natural colours and textures
enable you to create both striking
façade contrasts and more
traditional neutral colour schemes.
SUPERIOR STRENGTH
Clay products are stronger than
concrete and other light weight
materials and also provide a safer
and more secure home from the
outside environment.
AFFORDABLE
Cost effective building product
materials that increase the value
of your investment or project from
day one, for generations to come.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
Combined with intelligent passive
building design elements, clay
bricks can help moderate building

energy consumption.
SUSTAINABLE
Clay is a natural resource which has
been used for centuries because it
retains its colour forever as well as
its durability. Architects, engineers
and specifiers continue to appreciate
the advantages of using clay products.

UNIQUE AND VERSATILE
Shaped bricks are used in conjunction
with standard bricks to create distinctive
architectural features, adding detail and appeal.
Unlike polystyrene or fibreglass mouldings that
are simply glued into place, shaped bricks are as
durable and colourfast as conventional bricks
and are available in a variety of colours.
PLINTH CB5, CB6, CB7
Used to extend base
brickwork and form a
decorative ‘ledge’ around
a building. Can also
create a bevelled course
or wall capping.
SINGLE BULLNOSE CB9
Commonly used in window
sills, as step treads, or as
a user-friendly capping on
a low retaining wall, brick
seat or planter box.
SQUINT CB15
Allows brickwork to turn
a 45-degree corner (eg.
at a bay window) without
interrupting the bond
pattern or leaving an
unsightly cut mark down
the corner.
DOUBLE BULLNOSE CB10
Commonly used as
a capping brick on
freestanding walls and
parapets. Also used in
vertical applications such
as garage entrance piers.
REVEAL CB47
Commonly used in wall
openings, windows, and
doors to add a bevelled
edge feature.
CB SILL
Commonly laid vertically
with a f lush joint type to
provide an angled sill
detail under windows.

Mortex
Raked Ironed Struck Flush
MORTEX is a factory manufactured, quality assured premixed
M4 rated mortar solution. Its consistency can save labour time,
increase efficiency, remove the need for on site blending, and it
is compliant with AS3700:2018. MORTEX takes the guess work
out of mortar blending and reduces the potential for under
strength, non compliant mortar use.
This can ultimately reduce potential liabilities, saving money
and time on rectifications. With the adoption of ISO9001:2008
principles, the mortar constituents are accurately measured
and blended in a controlled environment to ensure consistent,
homogeneous mortar is produced on-site.
White mortar is currently the most popular colour. This is
made by mixing light coloured cement and white sand and
results in a traditional brick and mortar look. Mortar can be
coloured by adding powdered or liquid pigments to the mortar
as it is being mixed by the bricklayer. It can also be tinted to
match the brick colour, giving a very even wall colour.
Please confirm with your bricklayer what their mortar
colouring offering is before making your final decision.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON MORTEX PLEASE CONTACT US ON:
13-Brick (13-2742).
Mortar colour
There are four common mortar finishes and these various
finishes result in different shadow lines on the wall. A raked
finish will create a deep shadow in the mortar joint. This brings
out the horizontal lines of the brickwork (and the vertical lines
to a lesser extent) and it is the most common finish. Ironed and
struck joints also create shadow lines, but these are much finer
and more subtle. A flush joint doesn’t allow shadow lines to
form at all, giving the wall a flatter, more unified look. Using a
mortar colour to match the brick will take this a step further.
