ok nose ,just like not being able to lay a common below damp , so every house you seen built in sand face flittons all have engineering bricks below damp, i think not ,you might be woody your self iam not sure but some one is sure giving out wrong information,probaly why site called diy not .com?i concur with woody.
we lean-mix fill our cavities to within 225mm of the dpc.
recently, architects have been specifying cavity batts below dpc.
dritherm subscribe to this method and guarantee that their product will not wick any water in the sub-dpc trough.
answer my question please, all new house built in sand face flittons all have enigineering bricks below damp,thats what hes applying , and you agree, your totaly wrong and you know it, if i look out my window now theres a new build with sand face flittons coming out of the ground ,how do you explain that ? by the way a sand face flitton is the same as common ie flitton , where do you get your information from?to comply with current building reg's all bricks below dpc must not be less than 40n F.L. quality and blocks must be no less than 7n dense, all laid in 3:1 mortar.
i cant bear this no more , woody a sand face flitton is a common with sand blasted into it you mug , your getting on my nerves now , think il retire and phone a few of my m8s and tell them about this site , some of them need a good laffNo-one said anything about engineering bricks, or not being able to use facing bricks.
The requirement is that the bricks have an appropriate frost resistance (FL rating)
A common brick is not a facing brick, and yes you may have a new build using facing bricks out of the ground, but common bricks would not be acceptable
make you right tawcommon bricks, (concrete) can be bought with the brushed face on, and I have built to many houses/apartments, to count the number of times these have been used below dpc, coming up from ground level. used to be called danygraig brick, but now called consolidated
A common brick is made of clay
You can't get a common brick made of concrete
