Hoskins Zero – A new way to lay bricks

Hoskings brick and NRTaylor are proud to announce the launch of Zero. Zero is the brick which is especially designed to have no mortar showing and achieves a seemless, uniform facade. Contact us for more information and prices.

The ZERO Brick offers designers an aesthetic solution that the contractor can produce in a traditional way. We believe the ZERO Brick is set to change perceptions of joint-free bricklaying in the UK.

Whilst there are other solutions for joint-free brickwork on the market, such as gluing, dry stacking and thin bed mortar, the primary issue with these is that the contractor has to learn a new brick-laying technique. This additional investment in training as well as new materials has resulted in many contractors holding back on these techniques.

However, with the ZERO Brick, the contractor can simply continue to use their trowel and mortar in much the same way as traditional bricklaying. The concept is simple; there is an extra-large hollow at the top of the brick to which standard mortar is easily applied, making it possible to reduce the joint thickness to 4mm, creating a near joint-free look.
