Description
A high-quality facing brick with a traditional frogged design, offering a lightly glazed finish and rich, enduring colour blends. Available in two distinctive styles—Smooth facing brick for a crisp, contemporary aesthetic and Antique facing brick for a more rustic, heritage-inspired look—this brick range delivers both visual appeal and long-term performance.
Features and benefits:
- Available in a smooth finish with crisp edges for a contemporary look; and an antique finish with rumbled edges for a more traditional look.
- Woodward bricks are frogged, so they are lighter and easier to handle than solid bricks.
- The frog creates an extra recess for the mortar, resulting in a stronger bond between bricks.
- Low efflorescence
- Frogged bricks reduce the environmental impact as the indentation in the brick saves on materials, which also helps reduce the curing time of the bricks.
- Mean coefficient of water absorption: 4.4 g/m²s.
Type of mortar:
Recommended ratio 6:1, sand to ordinary portland cement (OPC).
