Let’s talk about mortar 🧱 Mortar is something some clients don’t think about too much when planning their build. However, mortar generally accounts for over 17% of the surface area of the brickwork, the part that is seen by the eye once complete. This means mortar can have a huge effect on the finished brickwork appearance. Coloured mortar is available and supplied by many leading manufacturers and can be a great way to make more of a feature of the brickwork on a building. A dark-tone mortar combined with a lighter brick can make the bricks appear darker and richer in colour, whereas a lighter mortar will make the bricks appear lighter as if the colour has been partly drawn from them. Using a mortar the same colour as the bricks themselves can also create a great effect, highlighting the texture and form of the bricks rather than the joints. #Brickwork #Bricks #Build #Architecture #Contractor #BrickworkContractor #Construction #Bricklayer #Bricklayers #ConstructionNorthWest #NorthWestConstruction #Mortar

In the construction industry, we’re often focused on the physical demands of the job, but mental health is just as important as any other part of our wellbeing. On World Mental Health Day, we want to remind everyone at S&K Brickwork that it’s okay to acknowledge when you’re not feeling your best. Construction can be tough, both physically and mentally, with long hours and challenging conditions. But that’s why it’s crucial to check in on yourself and each other. Whether it’s sharing how you’re feeling over lunch or offering support to a colleague who might be going through a rough patch, small actions can make a big difference. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthInConstruction #BuildingSupport #SKBrickwork

New research has confirmed that using waste clay and brick in cement production could reduce the material’s embodied carbon by up to 30%. A two-year study by the Mineral Products Association (MPA) shows that UK reclaimed clays and finely ground brick powder can be used as calcined clays in cement and concrete manufacturing to deliver lower emissions than the market-leading CEM I cement. This exciting study shows the potential for the construction industry to reduce its environmental impact. Using old bricks in this way is a viable solution for repurposing waste materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. https://lnkd.in/eRRD44Wu #Brickwork #Bricks #Build #Architecture #Contractor #BrickworkContractor #Construction #Bricklayer #Bricklayers #ConstructionNorthWest #NorthWestConstruction #Sustainability
