Workmanship

The recommendations of good practice made in the relevant British or European Standards regarding design and workmanship must be fully observed. Always mix from four packs, working vertically down the blades, not horizontally across the tops of packs. Bricks and brickwork should be covered to prevent saturation.

Performance

All Northcot 1st quality bricks are Frost Resistant. Northcot Bricks are manufactured to F2 rating for Frost Resistance as described in BS EN 771-1: 2003 "Specification for Clay masonry units". The specification is for masonry (walling) products which are to be used in brickwork designed and built in accordance with recommendations in BS PD 6697: 2010 "Recommendations for the design of masonry structures to BS EN 1996-1-1 and BS EN 1996-2". The use of Sulphate Resisting Cement is recommended.
