Frequently Asked Questions

Brickies Loam is a blend of sand and clay that is used for bricklaying and masonry purposes. Its "fatty" consistency helps create mortars with greater workability for masonry projects. It is commonly used for:

  • Laying bricks and concrete blocks
  • Building retaining walls
  • General masonry and construction projects
  • Residential and commercial brickwork

Brickies Loam is a natural mix of sand and clay. This gives it a "fatty" consistency, which improves the plasticity of the finished mortar mix and improves its workability.

Brickies Sand is a washed, fine sand with no clay content and needs to be mixed with cement and other additives to produce mortar.

To create mortar, Brickies Loam is often mixed with cement, hydrated lime, and water. The exact ratio of these ingredients will differ depending on the project, so we recommend consulting your engineer, builder, or a specialised mortar supplier.

To calculate how much Brickies Loam you need for your project, you will need to calculate your total wall area and mortar requirements before ordering. The number of bricks or blocks being laid will also affect the calculation, so there is no one-size-fits-all way to determine exactly how much you need.
