How to select
your bricks
Designing your new home is an
exciting experience as you discover
the multitude of design ideas at your
disposal. The NZ Brick Distributors team
will help to make the experience as
satisfying as possible.
> Dynasty - Cognac Illusion
Monier and Austral Bricks are made from natural
minerals that are kiln fired to lock in their colour and
strength for life. The composition of the raw materials
as well as the firing process may cause each run to
differ. The resulting colour variation is inherent in the
process and part of the appeal of our natural products.
Selection tools available to you, we recommend you
use at least three of these:
Brochures and Website – a great way to narrow down
your selection but remember colours and textures are
only indicative.
Sample Boards – some builders have sample boards
in their offices, these are a good way to view the bricks.
Selection Centres – visit a NZ Brick Distributors
Selection Centre to view display walls. We also have
tools such as window joinery and roof colour swatches
to help with your selection.
Sample Packs – you can request a sample from us
which we can send to you. This will be from the current
batch and will give a good indication of brick colour.
Recently Constructed Houses – we can provide you
a list of recently constructed houses that you can view
from the street.
Considering a blended brick? Be aware we
endeavour to always show a light and dark brick
however the final blend will not be in equal proportions
and there will be a range of colours between the light
and dark.
Consider your mortar colour and joint finish as this
can have a dramatic affect on your homes overall
appearance. See page 4 of this catalogue for more
advice on mortar colour and joint finishes.
3
Mortar, that
finishing touch
Your choice of mortar colour and joint
finish can dramatically change the look
of your home. You might be surprised
to know that mortar makes up about 15
percent of the surface area of brickwork.
So it’s not surprising that the colour and
finish of mortar joints will affect your
perception of a wall.
Mortar finishes
There are three common mortar finishes. The key to
understanding mortar finishes is sunlight. A raked finish
will cause a deep shadow to form in the mortar joint.
This brings out the horizontal lines of the brickwork
(and the vertical lines to a lesser extent). Rolled joints
also create shadow lines, but much finer and more
subtle. A flush joint doesn’t allow shadow lines to form,
giving the wall a more unified look. Using a mortar
colour to match the brick will take this a step further.
The type of brick you select plays a part in which type
of mortar joint would work best. Straight edged bricks
with a slurry coat lend themselves to rolled joints where
colour through bricks with rumbled edges are better
with a raked joint. Using a raked joint on some bricks
is likely to cause chipping, which may be unsightly. As
such it is important to adhere to the recommendations
on each page of this catalogue.
Mortar Colour
Mortar colour is a great way to add your own personal
twist to your home and there are a multitude of options
available to you. The most common mortar colour is
mid-grey, often called “natural”. However mortar can
be coloured, usually by adding powdered or liquid
pigments to the mortar as it is being mixed by the
bricklayer. Mortar coloured to match the brick will give
the impression of a large area of colour, whereas a
contrasting mortar colour will highlight the shape and
colour of the bricks.
Different mortar colours and joint finishes are shown in
our selection centres, ask one of the team to explain
the difference and why we have used different finishes
with different bricks. It is important to discuss both
mortar colour and joint finish with your builder or
bricklayer to ensure you get the look you want.

Ten tips for
selecting your
bricks
Colour Variation
Monier and Austral Bricks clay products are
made from naturally occurring materials
that are kiln fired to lock in their colour and
strength for life. The composition of the
raw materials as well as the firing process
may cause each run to differ. The resulting
colour variation is inherent in the process
and part of the appeal of natural products.
The product ranges in this brochure and
on our website give a general indication
of colour for your preliminary selection. We
recommend you also view current product
samples and look at actual finished houses
(we can supply a list) before making your
final selection. Visit one of our selection
centres where our experienced team can
help with your choice.
Blending Bricks
Your bricklayer is a professional tradesman
and is responsible for ensuring an even
colour distribution. This process is called
blending. Our bricks are partially blended
during packing but this is not sufficient to
guarantee a well blended wall. Blending on
site is important whether the bricks are a
single colour or multi-coloured. Blending
instructions are on the side of most packs.
Warranty
Brick colours and textures are indicative
only. We do no warrant that our bricks
will match any sample or brochure. We
recommend confirming availability and
viewing the latest batch. All warranty claims
against product must be made prior to
the product being laid. Minor chipping and
breakages can occur during delivery and
we recommend using this product for cuts.
•
Bricks are a natural product and as such there will
be some colour variation between and within
batches.
•
Always blend from three pallets to ensure colour
variation is evenly spread across the wall.
•
Do not lay wet bricks as an accurate indication of
colour variation can not be gauged. Also, a wet
brick may cause efflorescence to appear.
•
Bricks may have been transported up to seven
times prior to them arriving on site. During this
handling chipping may occur. This will not affect
the performance of the brick in any way.
•
If you believe there is an issue please phone NZ
Brick Distributors to organise a site meeting prior
to laying.
•
The industry standard for viewing brickwork is from
four metres back. Brickwork should be viewed as
an assembly, not brick by brick.
•
Clean as you go. Acid wash is not recommended.
However, if necessary contact NZ Brick Distributors
first.
•
Always use the appropriate mortar joint type. This
will limit chipping and ensure your bricks
appearance is enhanced.
•
It is the responsibility of the bricklayer to ensure all
bricks laid are of acceptable quality.
•
A brick laid is a brick accepted by the bricklayer
and the owner.

Delivery &
maintenance
advice
Delivery
Delivering your bricks is the exciting first step in the
construction process. Here are a few simple guidelines
to help us help you.
•
Deliver ahead of time - The first delivery should
take place at least a day before work commences,
otherwise time may be lost on site due to waiting.
Give us a minimum 48 hours notice for all deliveries.
•
Help us find you - Give a clear street address.
Tell us of any obstacles such as a narrow,
dead-end or one-way street, weight restrictions and
clearways. Please tell us beforehand if there is
difficult site access or if the site is locked.
•
Placement of bricks - Please make sure we have
any special placement instructions ahead of
delivery. Ensure the ground (including underlying
pipes) and any pavement traversed can sustain
this weight. Our tractors need at least 2.5 m clear
width and 2.6 m height clearance.
•
Inspect the delivery - Call NZ Brick Distributors
immediately if there are any problems.
Brick Cleaning and Maintenance
One of the appealing factors of brickwork is it requires
very little maintenance once installed. Your bricklayer is
responsible for leaving your brickwork clean at the end
of a job. There are some naturally occurring processes
that can cause marks to appear on your brickwork
once installed. These are easily remedied, generally
without the use of harsh chemicals.
The appearance of a brick building can be permanently
spoilt by bad cleaning techniques or by the use of the
incorrect cleaning agents. For this reason, it is important
to ensure that the correct cleaning methods are utilised
for the best results and to help reduce the associated
problems with brick cleaning. Brickwork cleaning and
maintenance advice is available on our website or
contact one of our sales offices.

Design for a
sustainable
future
In recent years there has been
growing world-wide concern for energy
conservation, the reduction of greenhouse
gases and sustainability.
In Australia, it is estimated that 39%
of the end energy usage in domestic
buildings is used for space heating and
cooling (Australian Greenhouse Office
1999). Designing and constructing an
energy efficient house has the potential to
substantially reduce the amount of energy
consumed.
NZ Brick Distributors is part of an industry
that has spent over 8 years researching
this very subject. Research conducted at
the University of Newcastle has proven that
clay brick is a superior building material in
producing thermally comfortable, energy
efficient environments for people to live,
work and play. This is because of the high
thermal mass found in clay bricks.
The key findings of the energy efficiency
research to date are:
• Lightweight buildings (timber, fibre cement, steel)
are the worst performing buildings across all seasons.
• Brick veneer construction performs better than lightweight.
• Insulated cavity brick performs the best
The research also reinforces that passive design features
make all the difference, making the most of local climate
conditions to create a more comfortable home while
reducing your power bills.
As well as being the best choice for thermally comfortable
housing, clay bricks are the natural choice because:
• Long life. Bricks stand the test of time.
The evidence of that is all around us.
• Low maintenance. Face brickwork doesn’t require
special cleaning, painting or protective coatings to
maintain its good looks.
• Durable. Bricks are immensely strong, resisting fire
and impact damage, and vermin or termite attack.
• Healthy. Brickwork is inert, emitting virtually no
chemicals or gases.
• Reusable. Bricks are one of the few materials that
can be reused (not just recycled) with their original
qualities intact.
A Sustainable Industry
• Abundant. Bricks are made from clay and shale,
our planet’s most abundant materials.
• Low impact. Our raw material quarries are carefully
controlled to minimise environmental impact and
ensure the land is rehabilitated.
• Energy efficient. Most brick production is highly
automated, using clean natural gas in highly
efficient kilns.
• Conserving water. Where possible our plants recycle
water and use rainwater collected on site.
• Recycling waste. Clay waste and malformed bricks are
recycled back into the manufacturing process.
