Coursing brick.
Application
Suitable for applications such as:
- Padstones on top of hollow blocks.
- Used above and below dpc.
- Makes up courses in blockwork.
- Reveals, jambs and window heads.
- Kicker units to bring blockwork to wall height.
Description
Marshalls coursing bricks are designed to be used in all types of construction in conjunction with dense aggregate or lightweight aggregate blocks, both of which are available in standard bed widths of 100 mm and 140 mm. They are also available as 40 mm high slips for use in building up courses in beam and block floors.
The 140 mm width units are particularly suitable for use in the inner leaf of three storey buildings and party walls (Ref, Parts A and E of the Building Regulations) in addition to the requirements of BS 8103, ‘Structural Design of Low Rise Buildings’.
Features and benefits:
- Based on tabulated values from BS 5628- 3 and PD 6697 dense coursing bricks are classed as frost resistant.
- For lightweight bricks the specially selected aggregates used in the manufacturing process provide density, strength and thermal conductivity values which are comparable with the majority of lightweight aggregate blocks with a density range of 1000—1500 kg/m³.
