The
Bricky is made from
injection moulded plastic (ABS) making it extremely durable,
rigid and resistant to the elements, as well as lightweight
and easy to use. Wall building requires both horizontal and
vertical joints between every brick and block. The Bricky tool
caters for both joints. It comprises of two components: a
horizontal guide and a vertical guide.
Horizontal
Guide
As bricks and blocks on edge are manufactured to a standard
width, the horizontal guide is suited to both brick and block
on edge construction.
Features include:
- Level vials on both horizontal planes.
- A 900mm long template to receive a 12m thick layer of
mortar. This thickness was specifically calculated to cater
for 2mm natural compaction and ensure that the standard 10mm
(3/8") joint is achieved and securely bonded.
- The back end is open to allow the tool to slide along the
wall as work progresses.
- Four spring-guides to ensure that the tool is always centred
on the wall. The rounded edges on these springs allow the user
to guide the tool along the wall. Protective cases are
specifically located so the mortar bed will meet precisely at
the corners.
Vertical
Guides
Two vertical guides are provided to cater for vertical joints
in brick and standard block on edge.
Features include:
- A template to receive an 11.5mm vertical bed of mortar. This
thickness was specifically calculated to cater for 1.5mm
natural compaction and ensure that the standard 10mm finished
joint is achieved and securely bonded.
- The vertical guide is designed to ensure that the user can
quickly plaster in the vertical joint. The positioning guides
are rounded at the ends to allow placement with speed and
ease.
- The Bricky tool also features an ergonomically designed
handle for user comfort.
