Random Bond is the most popular and natural looking and it is easier to lay.

Rubbed with a bar and then brushed.

Standard or coloured mortar as listed above in q10.

Approximately 1 tonne per 20m”(100mm leaf)-3″ bags of cement per tonne.

There is a pattern shown in the brochure as a guide. The block layer mixes sizes as he builds. It is easy to make it look random using different sizes scattered throughout.

Yes, brick or block.

Only by building it back to back.

This will not be noticeable in the blended colours, in single colours it is possible but it is a natural product.

Either a standard precast capping or Hallmark-HM 7 or HM 8.

Piers are easily built by using a textured end Hallmark usually a mixture of HM 1,7 & 10 for the corners-use other units depending on size of pier.

A precast cap with overhang and throating is the best and keeps the pier clean.

Sq. feet to sq.metres /10.76

E.g.: 120 sq. ft / 10.76 = 11.15m²

Sq.yards to sq.metres x 0.836

E.g.: 40 sq.yds x 0.836 =11.15m²

Feet to Metres/3.28

E.g: 60 ft/3.28=18.29m

Length Yards to Metres/1.0945

E.g. 100 yards /1.0945=91.4m

Cover all fresh work at night from rain and frost. Fill/compact all vertical joints. Use 6”(150mm) vertical D.P.C (Damp proof course) at windows and doors. Use stepped D.P.C over all windows and doors in accordance with good building practice. Never use cavity fill insulation Never use expanded metal for wall ties. Control joints usually 6m centres (10mm wide).

Yes. Make full use of Technical Rep. experience-he will be happy to help.

No more than brickwork-most of the penetrations go through the vertical joints, make sure they are filled and compacted-don’t fill the cavity with insulation.

Fading in colour concrete happens when the pigment wears off the face of the aggregate stone. As Hallmark is split textured right through the aggregate it is therefore ready weathered. Weathering will always occur on walling material due to dust and the atmosphere.However all concrete will weather a little.

Yes it is easy to build and suits standard blockwork.

No more than any other wall finish when properly laid with proper overhangs.

Always cover and protect from frost and rain. Consider plastering chimneys or use a cavity and cavity tray as per B.S 5628 Pt.3.
