Brickies Loam is a specially formulated type of soil that is extensively used in the construction industry, particularly in bricklaying and masonry applications. This loam is a carefully blended mix, predominantly consisting of sand with a small proportion of clay, which gives it the perfect consistency for mortar preparation. Its fine texture allows for easy mixing, offering a smooth, pliable mortar that provides excellent workability and adhesion between bricks and blocks. The presence of clay in the loam helps in retaining moisture in the mortar, ensuring it cures evenly and provides a strong, durable bond that can withstand the harsh Australian climate. Ordinary Brickies Loam is essential for achieving clean finishes on walls, enhancing both the aesthetic and structural integrity of masonry constructions. It is vetted for quality and consistency to meet Australian Standards, ensuring it performs reliably in a wide range of construction scenarios.
