Think Brick’s new industry-standard Brickwork Manual is designed to make choosing, working and building with bricks easy. A rock-solid manual for a rock-solid industry, it is designed to assist builders with navigating new products and new methods of working with clay bricks, promising to be an indispensable guide to the industry.
The Brickwork Manual offers technical information in an easy-to-understand format alongside helpful tips to guide you through a client job from start to finish. It covers everything you need to know to make your project flow smoothly, including logically working through brick selection, site preparation, bricklaying and brick cleaning.
For instance, did you know that there are three crucial aspects to a good wall — correct brick selection, skilful bricklaying and appropriate brick cleaning? Arming yourself with the right knowledge is the key as different bricks may require different mortar and preparation. The manual guides you through each process step by step.
Customer expectations are another important element covered by the manual. Helping a customer to visualise the end result means you’re halfway to completing an effective project.
Clay brick is one of the most popular choices for Australian homes due to its superior strength, quality, impressive colour and low maintenance. Brick homes are warmer in winter, cooler in summer and quieter all year round. More than 16 million bricks are produced annually in this country and the industry employs 30,000 people, from manufacturing to installation.
