Frogged Facing Bricks
Marshalls' frogged bricks combine strength, stability, and performance, making them a preferred choice for various construction projects. Suitable for both residential and commercial builds, these bricks have a distinctive indentation known as a 'frog' designed to improve load-bearing capacity and enhance mortar adhesion, ensuring a better, stronger build that stands the test of time.
Â
What are frogged bricks?
Frogged bricks differ from other types of facing bricks due to their unique appearance. Each brick features a cavity, or 'frog,' on one side, which is designed to be filled with mortar during installation. This creates a stronger bond between bricks and enhances stability.
By allowing more mortar to integrate into the structure, frogged bricks contribute to greater strength and uniformity in the final build, making them a handy product for load-bearing applications.
What are the advantages of frogged bricks?
Marshalls’ frogged bricks are used in building projects across the UK and have become a reliable option for the following reasons:
-
The recessed frog shape improves how mortar bonds with the brick and enhances the overall stability of the brickwork
-
When laid correctly, frogged bricks can minimise air pockets and improve load distribution, reducing noise transmission and improve sound insulation
-
Filling the frog indentation with mortar ensures a stronger a more resilient wall
-
The shape of frogged bricks allows for even distribution of weight, making them suitable for various applications, including residential properties and commercial buildings
When should you use frogged bricks?
Frogged bricks are ideal for projects that require extra strength and stability. They are commonly used in load-bearing walls, where their ability to distribute weight effectively helps maintain structural integrity over time.
Frogged bricks are particularly beneficial in areas subject to high pressure or heavy loads. When laid with the frog facing upwards and properly filled with mortar, they offer superior durability and reliability compared to other brick types.
To maximise their usefulness, frogged bricks should not be laid with the indentation facing downwards, as this can create air gaps that compromise structural integrity.
