Description

Brickies Loam White (50/50 Blend)

Achieve a clean, professional finish with Brickies Loam White (50/50 Blend), a high-quality sand designed for bricklaying, mortar mixing and rendering applications.

This blend combines washed sand and loam, creating a smooth, workable material with ideal binding properties. Its light, off-white colour makes it perfect for projects requiring a brighter, cleaner mortar finish, particularly when used with white or light-coloured cement.

Widely used by professional bricklayers, this product delivers consistent results and ease of use across both trade and DIY projects.

Key Features & Benefits

Excellent workability — Loam content creates a smooth, easy-to-use mortar mix that spreads and shapes easily.

Strong bonding properties — Provides reliable adhesion when mixed with cement, helping create durable brickwork.

Clean white finish — Ideal for projects requiring a light-coloured mortar joint for improved appearance.

Consistent blend (50/50) — Balanced mix of sand and loam ensures uniform texture and performance.

Versatile application — Suitable for bricklaying, rendering and general construction use.

What It’s Used For

Bricklaying & Block Work — The preferred choice for mortar in walls, pillars and structural brickwork.

Rendering & Bagging — Creates a smooth, workable mix for finishing surfaces.

Mortar Mixes — Ideal for combining with cement to produce strong, durable mortar.

Bedding Applications — Can be used under above-ground pools or similar applications requiring a smooth base.

Mixing Guide (Brickies Loam)

For standard mortar applications, mix with General Purpose Cement and water.

As a general guide:

• 4–5 parts Brickies Loam to 1 part cement for general bricklaying
• Add water gradually to achieve a smooth, workable consistency
• For enhanced workability, lime or additives may be included depending on application

Mix thoroughly to ensure consistent bonding and avoid overly wet mixes, which can weaken mortar strength.

Why It Performs Well

Brickies Loam contains a balanced mix of sand and clay (loam), which allows it to:

• Create a sticky, workable mortar mix
• Improve adhesion between bricks and blocks
• Provide a smoother, more consistent finish
• Enhance durability and resistance to weathering

This makes it the preferred sand for bricklaying and mortar applications.

Important Product Characteristics

Fine, loamy texture — Designed for workability and bonding, not drainage applications.

Higher clay content — Gives the mix its “fatty” consistency, ideal for mortar.

Not suitable as a base material — Not designed for compaction or structural base layers.

Natural variation — Colour and texture may vary between batches.

Practical Information

This product is supplied as a bulk sand, suitable for delivery directly to your project site.

Due to the natural materials used, colour and consistency may vary, which is normal for loam-based products.
